Abstract

Overseas holidays are nowadays very frequent, especially in the Caribbean with tempting splendid natural environment. Outside the own country persons are less likely to be familiar with a different health system and the legal framework; political and insurance policies can make sometimes problems insurmountable. Support which one can freely get in the home country may not be available or may be very expensive and the foreign office support sometimes provide interpreters, doctors and funeral assistance. The author present a case of a suspect death abroad far away from the own country, with poor health assistance in the emergency situations and the presentation focuses on the reconstruction of all medical activities arranged on place before death.
