'Cause of death' of mum, 28, whose heart was removed after dying on holiday
A shocking report has emerged detailing the alleged cause of death for a British mum who lost her life unexpectedly on a family holiday in Turkey - with claims from her heartbroken family that her heart was removed without their consent. Beth Martin, 28, of Portsmouth, had jetted off to Turkey on April 27 with her husband Luke and their two young children, aged eight and five, looking forward to what should have been an idyllic break. Yet within a day of their arrival, she began acting erratically and was taken to hospital. Despite being transferred to intensive care, she sadly passed away the following day, April 28. Weeks on, a forensic report has surfaced purporting to clarify the sudden nature of her death. The report, from Turkey's Forensic Medicine Institution as covered by local news source Sozcu, suggests Beth succumbed to food poisoning with resultant complications and noted "no evidence" of any traumatic injury. The document by the Forensic Medicine Institution states: "It has been concluded that Martin's death occurred as a result of food poisoning and its complications," reports the Mirror. Moreover, it detailed that comprehensive evaluations of Beth's heart have been performed and samples of her cardiac tissue are being transferred to UK officials today. The day Beth was rushed to hospital, her husband Luke Martin was reportedly barred from seeing his wife and received minimal information about her state. He later faced allegations of poisoning by Turkish police and was interrogated before being exonerated. Luke shared the devastating task he faced on social media: "To top it off, I had to break the news to my babies that their mum isn't coming home. It broke me," he penned. "Two weeks ago, me, my wife and two kids set out for a family holiday to Turkey. Only three of us made it back. I lost my wife, my children lost their mum, we lost the biggest piece of the puzzle that was our family." A GoFundMe page created by family members claims that the Martins were kept in the dark about how critical Beth's condition was, leading them to transport her body through the hospital in a bag. Facing a delay exceeding two weeks to repatriate her body, Luke spent thousands to fly her remains back with him. It has been reported that doctors had expressed concerns regarding Beth's heart prior to her passing, yet her family asserts they were not informed. Relatives allege that a subsequent UK postmortem revealed her heart had been removed in Turkey without consent. Recounting his harrowing experience, Luke labelled it as "the worst and most traumatic week of [his] entire life", noting that losing his wife has shattered his family beyond expression.

'Cause of death' of Brit mum, 28, whose heart was removed after dying on holiday
Beth Martin, 28, from Portsmouth, flew to Turkey with her husband and their two children for what was meant to be a dream getaway - but became delirious on arrival and died the following day A bombshell report has revealed the supposed cause of death of a British mum who died suddenly on a family holiday in Turkey - where she had her heart removed without her family's permission, her devastated loved ones claim. Beth Martin, 28, from Portsmouth, had flown out to Turkey on April 27 with her husband Luke and their two children, aged eight and five, for what was meant to be a dream getaway. But within 24 hours of arriving, she became delirious and was rushed to hospital. Despite being moved into intensive care, she tragically died the next day, on April 28. Now, weeks later, a forensic report has revealed the supposed cause of her sudden death. The findings, published by Turkey's Forensic Medicine Institution and reported by local outlet Sozcu, claim Beth died as a result of food poisoning and its complications, and found 'no evidence' of traumatic injury. The report, published by the Forensic Medicine Institution, said: 'It has been concluded that Martin's death occurred as a result of food poisoning and its complications.' It added that a full examination of Beth's heart had been completed, and that tissue samples from the heart are being handed back to UK authorities today. On the day Beth was admitted to hospital, her husband, Luke Martin, was allegedly banned from seeing his wife and given little to no information about her condition. He was then accused of poisoning her by Turkish police and subjected to interrogation - though later cleared of any wrongdoing. 'To top it off, I had to break the news to my babies that their mum isn't coming home. It broke me,' Luke wrote on social media. 'Two weeks ago, me, my wife and two kids set out for a family holiday to Turkey. Only three of us made it back. I lost my wife, my children lost their mum, we lost the biggest piece of the puzzle that was our family.' According to a GoFundMe page set up by relatives, the Martin family were left in the dark about the severity of Beth's condition and were forced to carry her body in a bag through the hospital. When told it could take more than two weeks to repatriate her remains, Luke paid thousands of pounds to bring her body back on the same flight as his. Doctors are understood to have raised concerns about Beth's heart before her death, but her loved ones say they were not made aware of what was happening. A UK post-mortem later confirmed her heart had been removed in Turkey without permission, according to her loved ones. Luke has since described the ordeal as 'the worst and most traumatic week of [his] entire life', adding that the loss of his wife has left the family shattered beyond words.

Jose Mourinho eyeing up Manchester United flop for Fenerbahce loan move
Jose Mourinho is hoping to raid one of his former clubs this summer and tempt Rasmus Hojlund to Fenerbache from Manchester United on a loan deal. The Danish striker has had a very difficult season, clearly struggling for form and confidence up front for the Red Devils. Still just 22 years old, Hojlund has scored 10 goals in all competitions this campaign, but they have come in 49 appearances. His strike rate in the Premier League has been especially poor, netting just four times in 30 outings, 21 of those appearances coming in the starting XI. Given he does not turn 23 until February, there is still plenty of time for the Denmark international to improve, but Manchester United may already be ready to cut their losses. Wake up to find news on your club in your inbox every morning with Metro's Football Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your team in the link so we can send you football news tailored to you. The Red Devils paid Atalanta an initial £64m for Hojlund in 2023, with the potential of another £8m to come in add-ons. 26 goals in 92 appearances later, that is looking like a lot of money for a player who has failed to convince at the top level, so far. Turkish publication Sozcu report that Fenerbahce are ready to take advantage of the situation and make a move for Hojlund. While a permanent deal may be difficult to do, the report states that Fenerbahce will make an offer for a loan deal with an option to buy. There is set to be something of a clearout from the Turkish side this summer, with Edin Dzeko to leave at the end of his contract, while Youssef En-Nesyri and Cenk Tosun could be sold. Sozcu also report that Lyon goalkeeper Lucas Perri is a target as Fiorentina are believed to be interested in Fener stopper Dominik Livakovic. Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim was asked last month if Hojlund could be sold in the summer and would not commit but did say he likes the struggling forward. 'We like our strikers,' said the Portuguese coach. 'We're improving our strikers. We'll see what happens next season. Rasmus is scoring, so we'll see.' Speaking in March, co-owner of Manchester United Jim Ratcliffe namechecked Hojlund as a player the club still owe payments from before he arrived, and he didn't sound too happy about it. 'If you look at the players we are buying this summer, that we didn't buy, we're buying Antony, we're buying Casemiro, we're buying Onana, we're buying Hojlund, we're buying Sancho,' Ratcliffe told the BBC. 'These are all things from the past, whether we like it or not, we've inherited those things and have to sort that out. More Trending 'For Sancho, who now plays for Chelsea and we pay half his wages, we're paying £17m to buy him in the summer.' On whether he was suggesting these players are not good enough, he said: 'Some are not good enough and some probably are overpaid, but for us to mould the squad that we are fully responsible for, and accountable for, will take time. 'We've got this period of transformation where we move from the past to the future.'
