This tragic event follows the death of a father in Turkey while on vacation, after being removed from a flight due to disruptive behavior and separated from his family. The distressing news of his demise was revealed when his father traveled to Turkey in search of him.
The missing man, Ben Crook, aged 32, disappeared during a trip to Antalya with his partner and children after displaying erratic conduct on the flight, which included altercations with flight staff. Upon arrival in Turkey, he was escorted off the plane, separated from his partner, and failed to reach their hotel, according to reports from the Gwent Coroner’s Court.
Following his son’s disappearance, Mr. Crook’s father traveled to Turkey and learned the tragic news of his son’s fatal fall, resulting in his death. A post-mortem examination confirmed that Mr. Crook sustained fatal injuries consistent with a fall, leading to his passing at a local hospital.
The details of the incident were disclosed during an inquest, highlighting the circumstances surrounding Mr. Crook’s untimely death.
