A reported cause of death of the British mum whose ‘heart went missing’ after her mysterious death has been shared.

Beth Martin was heading on a family holiday with her husband Luke and their two young children in Turkey when she began to feel unwell during their flight.

The mum struggled to sleep that night and was 'delirious' by the next morning, so her husband called for an ambulance. She was taken to hospital with Luke following in a taxi.

However, he claimed he was ‘banned’ from seeing Beth and didn’t see her alive again after he watched her be loaded into the ambulance.

She sadly died in the hospital on 29 April, with an autopsy report in the UK finding that her heart had been removed after her death, which Turkey’s health ministry denied.

Medical staff said there had been 'concerns with her heart' and the Turkish health ministry claimed Beth's 'cardiac arrest was due to multiple organ failure'.

Coroners in Turkey couldn’t identify a cause and prosecutors requested an autopsy of Beth’s heart by the Forensic Medicine Institute.

And its examination report has now been released, as it stated that no medical evidence was found to prove that Martin had died from ‘traumatic effects’.

Reported by Turkish news agency AA, the report said: “It was concluded that Martin’s death occurred as a result of food poisoning and its complications.”

It added that the examination of her whole heart had been completed and that all tissue samples of the heart and other organs examined will be delivered to the company appointed by the British Consulate General in Istanbul today.

With the forensic experts finding no evidence of trauma on her body, it found the arteries of Beth's 350g heart were open 'and no old or new obvious findings that could have caused were deserved'.

The report said that her heart was heavier than expected in proportion to the mum's age and weight. The organ was then removed and kept in a solution of 10 per cent formaldehyde for seven days for testing.

It explains this was done to detect congenital anomalies in Beth's 'heart vessels, heart muscle diseases at the cellular level, electrical activity of the heart, rhythm disorders, heart valve diseases, abnormalities in the heart muscles that are not normally expected, and inflammatory diseases of the heart'.

It's understood that while Beth was still alive, doctors in the hospital checked her heart using a form of X-ray. Luke was told nothing suspicious was found.

A GoFundMe was set up to support the family and to help bring the mum's body home to the UK.
