A British woman has died in Turkey after a fire started inside a caravan while she was trapped with her boyfriend.

According to the Mirror on Thursday, May 11, the incident happened in the Turkish port city of Bodrum, resulting in the death of 54-year-old Hayley Louise Pearce, who was staying in the caravan, along with her boyfriend.

The couple was reportedly asleep and woke up as the fire started, but were unable to get out of the door.
