Widow wins six-figure payout after husband died snorkeling on TUI holiday

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.
