British woman ‘burned alive in caravan fire in Turkey’
A woman burned to death in Turkey after being trapped inside a caravan she was staying in.
Hayley Louise Pearce, 54, was holidaying with her boyfriend in the city of Bodrum when the tragedy happened.
Local media reported the couple woke up after flames had already engulfed their accommodation.
Hayley remained trapped in the trailer and died in the early hours of this morning.
Her Turkish boyfriend, who has not been named, somehow escaped the fire, but the extent of his injuries remains unclear.
Footage from the scene show only the caravan completely destroyed as the fire crew battles to extinguish the flames.
They could only recover Hayley’s lifeless body inside the charred remains of the vehicle.
It has since been taken to the morgue of the Mugla Forensic Medicine Institute for an autopsy.
The cause of the fire remains unclear. Authorities have launched an investigation into what happened.
