A woman who "lit up every room" was celebrating her dream job in Turkey with her "soulmate" when she died.
Kate Thornton was just 42 when she suffered a suspected cardiac arrest just days into her holiday on June 28, despite having no previous health issues or displaying any symptoms. Kate and her husband Steve had travelled to Turkey after she was offered her dream job as senior marketing operations specialist for Minitab.
The pair booked the last minute trip abroad for June 25 to celebrate, and Steve said their time together was "fantastic". He told the ECHO : "It was after midnight the day after when things took a turn for the worst. I'm told it seemed she had a cardiac arrest but she'd had no symptoms. She was healthy, fit, didn't smoke, if anything she took pride in her health.
