BETH MARTIN'S HUSBAND AND FAMILY ARE DEMANDING ANSWERS OVER THEIR LOVED ONE'S MYSTERIOUS DEATH 17:16, 24 May 2025 The family of mum-of-two who died of a mysterious illness in

Pendik Training and Research Hospital when her condition worsened. Beth died on Tuesday this week shortly after she was admitted to the hospital. The Daily Mail reported that her family

claimed they were kept in the dark about the seriousness of her condition and had suggested doctors were unaware that Beth was allergic to penicillin. Luke was initially accused of

'poisoning' his wife by Turkish police but has since been released. Turkish Ministry of Health officials revealed Beth died after a 'cardiac arrest due to multiple organ
