In unrelated news, a father tragically lost his life while on vacation in Turkey after being removed from a flight due to disruptive behavior caused by intoxication. His demise was discovered when his father traveled to Turkey to inquire about his whereabouts.
Ben Crook, aged 32, had gone missing after departing for Antalya with his partner Jess Jenkins and their two children on September 23. Following a series of incidents involving alcohol and drugs on the flight, he was escorted off the plane upon arrival in Turkey, leading to his separation from his partner.
Subsequent investigations revealed that Mr. Crook, from Abertridwr, Caerphilly, never reached the hotel as expected. His father’s visit to Turkey uncovered the tragic news of his son’s fatal fall, resulting in his demise from severe injuries.
A post-mortem examination at the Antalya Forensic Institute confirmed that Mr. Crook sustained external injuries and lacerations consistent with a fall. The inquest disclosed that he passed away at Antalya Training and Research Hospital at 2:15 am on September 25.
