Antalya : british baby girl choked to death at luxury family resort in Turkey

Author­i­ties are look­ing into the trag­ic chok­ing death of a 6‑month-old British baby girl dur­ing a fam­i­ly hol­i­day at a five-star resort in Turkey.

Lit­tle Eliz­a­beth Cof­fey trag­i­cal­ly passed away after chok­ing on food at the Land of Leg­ends King­dom Hotel in Antalya, accord­ing to hos­pi­tal offi­cials. Her par­ents, Michael and Eliz­a­beth Cof­fey, were enjoy­ing a fam­i­ly get­away with around 30 rel­a­tives when the unthink­able hap­pened on Sat­ur­day morning.

The fam­i­ly imme­di­ate­ly sought help upon real­iz­ing Eliz­a­beth was hav­ing trou­ble breath­ing. Med­ical staff were quick to respond to the emer­gency at the resort. The infant was then rushed to a near­by pri­vate hos­pi­tal but efforts to save her life proved unsuc­cess­ful despite the doc­tors’ best efforts.

A hos­pi­tal spokesper­son told reporters, “Hotel staff called for para­medics as soon as the baby had dif­fi­cul­ties breath­ing. She was brought to the hos­pi­tal right away but the doc­tors were unable to revive her. The doc­tor who attend­ed to her said she choked on food or some­thing like it and could­n’t breathe.”

The trag­ic loss of such a young life stunned fam­i­ly and friends. Many took to social media to express their grief, share pho­tos of the smil­ing baby girl, and offer con­do­lences to her bereaved parents.

“Rest in peace lit­tle angel,” wrote one. “This is too sad. Rest in peace, baby girl. Please give com­fort to her mom­my and dad­dy. I feel utter­ly heart­bro­ken for them,” said another.

Author­i­ties have launched an inves­ti­ga­tion into the cir­cum­stances sur­round­ing the British baby’s death. Her remains have been tak­en to the Antalya Foren­sic Med­i­cine Insti­tute to deter­mine the offi­cial cause. The probe aims to piece togeth­er the details of how this acci­dent could have hap­pened to raise aware­ness and pre­vent sim­i­lar trag­ic cas­es from hap­pen­ing to oth­er fam­i­lies in the future.

The heart­break­ing sto­ry of baby Eliz­a­beth’s untime­ly pass­ing serves as a sober­ing reminder for all par­ents to be extra vig­i­lant when it comes to their chil­dren’s safe­ty, espe­cial­ly on hol­i­days. Deep­est con­do­lences go out to her loved ones at this dif­fi­cult time.
