Family's urgent warning after 'dedicated' man tragically died while snorkelling on holiday

A devastated widow has warned holidaymakers against poorly planned foreign excursions after her husband tragically died during a ' holiday of a lifetime' snorkelling experience. Roy Fawcett was just 58 when he went on a snorkelling excursion while on an all-inclusive holiday in the Dominican Republic with TUI.

After swimming into deeper waters with a group of fellow snorkellers, Roy was later found face down in the water not moving while his wife stayed in the shallows. Despite desperate attempts to revive the dedicated father-of-two by staff, he was sadly pronounced dead the same day in hospital.

Later, a coroner stated that he had died from 'accidental drowning on a poorly monitored holiday excursion.' Nearly five years on from the incident, which occurred on October 12, 2017, Roy's widow Susan Fawcett, 60, is still no closer to uncovering the truth of what led to his death, Hull Live reports.
