A father of four who died on a family holiday in Egypt was returned to the UK without his heart and kidneys, a legal firm for the family has said.

David Humphries, 62, collapsed and died while in Makadi, a beachside resort near Hurghada, on 18 September.

Lawyers Irwin Mitchell said a post-mortem examination was carried out in Egypt and again in the UK, when it was discovered his organs were missing.

The firm said it had been instructed by the family to investigate.

The full removal of internal organs is illegal under Egyptian law in a bid to reduce organ trafficking, it said.

Mr Humphries, a mechanic, had been on holiday with his wife Lynda, 59, their daughter Anita Goodall and her family since 7 September.

He saw a doctor about chest pains on 13 September and the next day went to hospital and was admitted overnight.

On 18 September he had been playing with his grandchildren in a swimming pool when he collapsed, was taken to hospital and died.

His body was returned to the UK via Dubai on 1 October, eight days after the family flew back home.

A coroner in the UK then requested a second post-mortem examination because the results of an autopsy in Egypt were inconclusive.

Mrs Humphries said: "We just want answers as to why he returned to the UK with parts of him missing.

"It is bad enough trying to come terms with his death."

Debbie Manders of Irwin Mitchell said: "The laws surrounding the removal of organs in Egypt are very strict.

"We are working with lawyers in Egypt to find out what has happened so we can provide David's family with much-needed answers."

This is why you shouldn't die in shitholes.
 
A simple rule is never assume malice when simple incompetence is involved. In a traditional old school autopsy the heart and kidneys, among other things, get removed, examined and sample slices taken for further tests. This is especially true for people dying after “chest pains”. I give it a 50/50 odds of either incredibly stupid organ thieves, or the Egyptian Coroners office forgot to include the “doggie bag” of organs when they shipped him back.
 
Do I look like an expert on those Egyptian assholes to you? Those guys were weird. Why enslave the Jews when you've got plenty of capable child laborers on hand? And don't get me started on the whole Osiris and his magic jizz stuff. Weirdos, I tell you.
Geez, tear his heart out, why don'tcha.
