A widow has warned holidaymakers against poorly planned foreign excursions after her husband died during a 'holiday of a lifetime' snorkelling experience. Dedicated family man 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 off 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 attempts to revive the father of two by staff he was 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 October 12 2017 incident, Roy's widow Susan Fawcett, 60, is still no closer to uncovering the truth of what led to his death.
