Anita Turner, the mother of Rebecca Turner, is sending out a heartfelt plea to young travelers and partygoers to be vigilant and cautious while visiting foreign countries. This comes after the tragic death of a British woman in Thailand, who passed away in her hotel room after ingesting a deadly combination of drugs.
Rebecca, 36, was found deceased alongside her boyfriend Sam Melnick, 32, in Bangkok earlier this year. Anita, who is 64 and from Bexhill-on-Sea in Sussex, shared that her daughter had unknowingly purchased what she believed to be cocaine on March 15. However, it turned out to be a lethal mix of nine different drugs, including crushed painkillers and sleeping pills.
According to Anita, drug dealers are constantly harassing tourists and pushing them to buy their products. She is now calling for stricter actions to be taken against this illegal trade. The grieving mother expressed, "My heart is shattered into pieces - I still can't come to terms with the fact that I will never see her again. Every morning, I wake up and see a picture of her, and I just break down in tears. It's unbearable."
She added, "The pain of losing a child is indescribable. It's something that you can't comprehend until you experience it yourself. So please, I beg of you, do not take any risks by consuming unknown substances. It's absolutely not worth it."
Rebecca had been in Thailand for a few months and was only a month away from returning home when the tragedy struck. CCTV footage showed Sam entering the hotel half an hour before her, and phone records revealed that he had texted a friend, saying he had just purchased cocaine. However, authorities later confirmed that the substance was actually a deadly mix of various drugs, including opiates, morphine, and benzodiazepines.
Their bodies were discovered by friends who went looking for them after they failed to check out as planned. Anita also shared that Sam was found lying in bed, while Rebecca was found on the floor, presumably trying to make her way to the bathroom.
Anita received an autopsy report from Thailand, but certain parts of it were redacted. "I'm convinced they blacked out the sections that revealed the drugs found in her system," she said. "They don't want people to know the extent of this problem in their country."
"This is a traumatic and shocking incident for our family," Anita continued. "The pain is unbearable. I just wish I could grab everyone's attention and tell them - please, do not take any risks with drugs."
An inquest into Rebecca's death is expected to reopen in January, according to Anita. She hopes that her daughter's tragic story will serve as a warning to others and prevent similar incidents from happening in the future.
