British mum, Elena Walsh, dies on family holiday after falling sick at five-star hotel

A British mum has died after falling sick on a “trip of a lifetime” where her family was celebrating two major milestones.

Elena Walsh, 64, was staying at a five star resort in Cape Verde when she started to feel unwell.

According to her family, there were hygiene failures across the resort.

Ms Walsh was with her husband Patrick, her son Sean, and her future daughter-in-law Gemma Kentish, The Sun have reported.

The family were there to celebrate Patrick’s 60th birthday as well as Sean and Gemma’s engagement.

Ms Walsh and Patrick had travelled to Cape Verde on August 1 when he fell ill.

A week later on August 8, Ms Walsh started suffering sickness, diarrhoea and sweating.

Ms Walsh was rushed to a clinic for treatment before being taken to hospital when her condition worsened.

FUNERAL NOTICES

The mother died just two days later in hospital.

Patrick said she was the “heart and soul of our family”.

“She was caring, compassionate, and always put others first,” Patrick added.

“Elena was a wonderful wife, mum, and friend. She was loved by everyone who knew her.”

The retired plant operator said his family held concerns about the hygiene standards at the hotel during their 12 night stay.

Food was sometimes served lukewarm and not cooked properly.

Care Ms Walsh received was “chaotic” in the lead up to her death.

The husband added that he noticed the water “changing colour” as people would stand in the pool bar all day without leaving.

The Birmingham man has instructed medical negligence lawyers to investigate the care his wife of almost 40 years received.

Patrick said “we feel we deserve answers”.

“Not just for our family but if Elena did fall ill, and die, because of the hygiene conditions at the hotel, we can then help try and prevent other families from going through the same horrific ordeal we have endured”.

Specialist international serious injury lawyer Jatinder Paul said Ms Walsh’s loved ones were “devastated”.

“Understandably, they have a number of questions about how she contracted her illness and the care she received in Cape Verde,” he added.

“While nothing can make up for their loss we’re determined to at least help establish the answers they deserve.”

AN inquest into Ms Walsh’s death is due to be heard at a later date.

Patrick said: “After hours of trying to treat her, they suddenly told us Elena’s organs were failing and there was nothing they could do for her.”

On April 12, 2021, a Knoxville police officer shot and killed an African American male student in a bathroom at Austin-East High School. The incident caused social unrest, and community members began demanding transparency about the shooting, including the release of the officer’s body camera video. On the evening of April 19, 2021, the Defendant and a group of protestors entered the Knoxville City-County Building during a Knox County Commission meeting. The Defendant activated the siren on a bullhorn and spoke through the bullhorn to demand release of the video. Uniformed police officers quickly escorted her and six other individuals out of the building and arrested them for disrupting the meeting. The court upheld defendants’ conviction for “disrupting a lawful meeting,” defined as “with the intent to prevent [a] gathering, … substantially obstruct[ing] or interfere[ing] with the meeting, procession, or gathering by physical action or verbal utterance.” Taken in the light most favorable to the State, the evidence shows that the Defendant posted on Facebook the day before the meeting and the day of the meeting that the protestors were going to “shut down” the meeting. During the meeting, the Defendant used a bullhorn to activate a siren for approximately twenty seconds. Witnesses at trial described the siren as “loud,” “high-pitched,” and “alarming.” Commissioner Jay called for “Officers,” and the Defendant stated through the bullhorn, “Knox County Commission, your meeting is over.” Commissioner Jay tried to bring the meeting back into order by banging his gavel, but the Defendant continued speaking through the bullhorn. Even when officers grabbed her and began escorting her out of the Large Assembly Room, she continued to disrupt the meeting by yelling for the officers to take their hands off her and by repeatedly calling them “murderers.” Commissioner Jay called a ten-minute recess during the incident, telling the jury that it was “virtually impossible” to continue the meeting during the Defendant’s disruption. The Defendant herself testified that the purpose of attending the meeting was to disrupt the Commission’s agenda and to force the Commission to prioritize its discussion on the school shooting. Although the duration of the disruption was about ninety seconds, the jury was able to view multiple videos of the incident and concluded that the Defendant substantially obstructed or interfered with the meeting. The evidence is sufficient to support the Defendant’s conviction. Defendant also claimed the statute was “unconstitutionally vague as applied to her because the statute does not state that it includes government meetings,” but the appellate court concluded that she had waived the argument by not raising it adequately below. Sean F. McDermott, Molly T. Martin, and Franklin Ammons, Assistant District Attorneys General, represent the state.
