British couple die within moments of each other after collapsing on dream Caribbean holiday A British couple died within only moments of each other after collapsing on a beach on a dream Caribbean holiday, an inquest has heard.
Bournemouth Coroner's Court heard David suffered a cardiac arrest on the beach, while Rosalind suffered an acute shock reaction to the traumatic event and also collapsed shortly afterwards.
We followed them on to the beach two or three minutes later and David was on his back receiving CPR while Rosalind was being held by another person while unconscious.
David and Rosalind Forster, both 76, were walking back to their hotel along Paradise Beach on the island of Carriacou after a meal out on March 9 when the double tragedy struck.
Daughter Julie and son-in-law Dr David Beckett, who had stayed at the restaurant to settle the bill, arrived at the scene two to three minutes later to find both of them being given CPR by passersby.
