British Girl, 13, Dies on Holiday in Crete

A 13-year-old British girl with cerebral palsy tragically died while on holiday with her parents in Crete after suddenly falling ill. She was taken to a hospital in Heraklion and admitted to the children's ICU, where she sadly passed away. Her mother confirmed that she had been born with cerebral palsy, and reports indicated that her health had rapidly deteriorated before her death. This incident follows another tragedy involving a British tourist, Sam Rigby, who drowned in Lake Como just two weeks prior while trying to swim back to a boat that had drifted away due to sudden high winds. The search for Rigby involved multiple rescue teams and helicopters. Both events highlight the unpredictability and dangers that can arise during vacations.
