Janet Lynne Savage, a driving examiner from Bangor in Gwynedd, died after a weight-loss surgery in Turkey went wrong. The surgery caused damage to one of the main arteries in her body, leading Mrs Savage into cardiac arrest. Despite emergency treatment, she died in the intensive care unit on August 6th, 2023.
