Scottish woman bled to death in a taxi on the way to Alicante airport

The most agonising losses are those that are unexpected, and this is particularly true when there is no indication that the event will have a life-altering impact. This is the story of Angela McTier, a 48-year-old Scottish woman who passed away while on holiday in Alicante due to an unusual medical condition that has taken her family and friends by surprise.

Despite her age, the British woman was already a grandmother to two granddaughters, whom she had intended to visit during her return journey home on July 22nd. However, a varicose vein rupture that same day caused a haemorrhage that led to her death.

She herself characterised her holiday at La Mata, near Torrevieja, as the best of her life for her family. However, it unexpectedly devolved into a nightmare.

Before boarding the aircraft, she was unaware that he was bleeding internally due to a silent haemorrhage caused by a ruptured vein during her taxi ride to Alicante-Elche Airport.

She was declared deceased at the scene, despite emergency services’ attempts to revive her after she lost consciousness prior to reaching the departure lounge.

Another holiday in the province was a favourite activity for Angela.

He even sought assistance in locating a vehicle in a La Mata Facebook group days prior to the tragic event.

“We are in need of a taxi to transport us to Alicante airport at the crack of dawn on Tuesday. Does anyone have any recommendations?” On July 18th, she said on Facebook.

Michelle Hilston, her daughter, shared a social media post on Monday, reminiscing that her mother had exclusively discussed the “best holiday she’d ever been on” over the course of the previous week.

“She was only 48 years old and had left behind a large number of loved ones, including her daughters, whom she longed to see again.” Regrettably, her travel insurance was rendered invalid, necessitating a significant expense to transport her back to her home.

The incident has stunned their fellow Scots, who have expressed their solidarity by offering to assist the family with funeral expenses and repatriation.

In the span of four days, a charity campaign initiated by family members has already generated over £5,000 in donations.

“Our objective is to alleviate some of the strain on Angela’s family, allow her to return home, and provide her with a chance to relax.” The campaign states that any contribution would be highly valued.

The British Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) has verified that it is “assisting the family of a British woman who passed away in Spain.”

Social media has also seen a variety of displays of support. Some organisations have even conducted raffles to award complimentary services to patrons who contribute to the charity initiative.
