A widow whose husband drowned while snorkeling on holiday is calling for lessons to be learned after lawyers secured her a settlement. Dad-of-two Roy Fawcett, 58, was found unresponsive in the sea in October 2017 during on an all-inclusive holiday holiday in the Dominican Republic.
Despite efforts to save him, the project manager was pronounced dead in hospital the same day. His widow Sue, 60, launched a legal case against travel company TUI following an inquest.
TUI denied liability for Roy's death - but agreed an undisclosed six-figure out of court settlement just says before the case was heard at the High Court. Sue and her team of specialist international serious injury lawyers at Irwin Mitchell have warned holidaymakers of holiday excursions.
