Devastating new details emerge after mum mysteriously dies in Turkey before autopsy reveals ‘heart is missing’

She's made some harrowing claims

Some devastating new details have emerged on the British mum who tragically died in Turkey last month, before a UK autopsy reportedly revealed that her heart was missing.

Beth and Luke Martin travelled to Turkey with their two young children towards the end of last month, but tragedy struck when the 28-year-old mum became ill on the flight.

The next morning, she was rushed to hospital in an ambulance after becoming 'delirious', but sadly, this would prove to be the last time Luke ever saw his wife alive.

What allegedly followed was described as 'negligence' and a 'lack of respect' towards Beth, as various sources claim that paramedics failed to inform doctors of her allergy to penicillin, and also banned the family from seeing her during her time in hospital.

Luke, and the family and friends who had travelled out to support him, were told the next day that she had died but they remain unsure of the cause of death, as they were simply told she had problems with her heart before she was transferred to another facility.

And now, grieving friend Ellie Grey, who claims that she travelled to Turkey to be with Luke when Beth passed away, has made some more devastating claims about the manner of her death, and the shocking treatment she received while she was under their care.

In a Facebook video, she said: "There have been so many things that went wrong. So much negligence, so much corruption between the hospitals, the police, the prosecution. And then we find out, even after I gave explicit consent, as did Luke, that they do not touch any of her organs, we find out that when we get back to the UK that they have stolen her heart. Which is very odd, because they claimed she had a heart problem. She didn't, but that's what they claimed."

Following the news breaking, a GoFundMe page has been set up to support the family both financially and emotionally through this tough time, and has soared above £200k at the time of writing after sitting at £140k yesterday.

Ellie also alleges in her video that hospital staff informed Luke that his wife had died, and then asked for a significant bill, before allowing them to see her body for the final time.

After what she describes as '20 seconds' the family are told to carry Beth's lifeless body in a body bag through the hospital, with the help of a translator, before putting her in a coffin.

Ms Grey then claims that the hospital wanted to 'bury and cremate her' the next day, until the family fought to have her expatriated back to the UK, where of course an autopsy revealed that her heart was missing.

In a second video, the friend then answers some further questions, and suggests that the family 'still don't know' how she died, with food poisoning ruled out. The UK autopsy also hasn't revealed much, due to the absence of her heart.

The influencer also claims that the hospital said they had done '45 minutes of CPR' but she disputes this, saying there is 'no way' that happened.

She claims that the money from the GoFundMe will be used to take the Turkish hospital, government and coroners to court.

Ms Grey concludes: "I promise that we will get answers."
