An Edinburgh vet tragically died on holiday in Columbia after a tropical storm hit during a hiking expition.
Thomas Arthur, 27, and his wife Carolyn were on holiday in the South American country in late 2019 when they became trapped in a tropical storm. While out hiking in Tayrona National Park, Thomas collapsed on the floor as his wife desperately began CPR.
Despite her efforts, Thomas never regained consciousness after the pair were stranded on the nearby Brava Beach for around 40 minutes. As a result of the storm, there was no way a helicopter or boat could reach them in time.
