Mum dies on hospital bed while undergoing gastric weight loss surgery in Turkey

Leanne Leary had a heart attack on the table while undergoing the procedure caused by undiagnosed deep vein thrombosis. The 38-year-old, from Oldham, was resuscitated and rushed to intensive care but suffered a second fatal cardiac arrest the following afternoon on Sunday, July 2, 2023.

As reported in Manchester Evening News, she didn't inform her parents of her plans to undergo the £2,000 surgery as she feared they would talk her out of it. She also didn't discuss the procedure with her GP. Ms Leary’s mum Kathleen Scott said: "I would have 100 per cent talked her out of it. You have to think of the kids. But she felt like there was nothing to worry about because she so desperately needed and wanted this operation.”

A post morgen report gave the cause of death as a pulmonary embolism due to deep vein thrombosis. Pathologist Dr Sami Titi said it was likely the DVT was present before Ms Leary left the UK.
