Social worker Debbie Willcock, 62, from Bolton, remains poorly in hospital in Jamaica
The family of a gran who suffered a devastating heart attack during a dream holiday to Jamaica has embarked on a drive to raise £60,000 for a life-saving operation - after her travel insurers refused to cough up.
A spokeswoman for the insurance company said it was 'crucial that previous medical history and any pre-existing conditions are declared'. Describing the moment his mother was struck down, he told the M.E.N: "She had a heart attack and cardiac arrest. She actually died in the beach but they managed to bring her back to life. It was very scary.
"When she got the insurance, she was careful to get the premium insurance. They've just voided the insurance because she didn't tick the diabetes box.
