Back to EpisodesBritish Man Dies in Cape Verde: Gastric Illness Outbreak
Description
A British man in his fifties tragically passed away from severe gastric illness after a week-long all-inclusive stay at a five-star resort in Cape Verde. This is the seventh UK tourist death from such illness in the region since January 2023. The man, already immunocompromised, suffered for twelve weeks after returning home, leading to multi-organ failure and his death. His wife reported poor standards at the resort, and lawyers are now supporting the family and others affected. Cape Verde officials found shigella bacteria in irrigation water and fresh produce, but no full outbreak. Specialist solicitors warn of over 1700 UK tourists sick since 2022, urging travelers to be cautious and tour operators to improve hygiene.
