A WEST tourist who was stuck in Greece on a ventilator with a £14,000 hospital bill after a holiday insurance nightmare has died.

Car valeter Alan Kirby, 67, suffered a 'septic' shock and passed away on Monday, his family have confirmed.

Alan had initially thought the pain in his side at dinner was from throwing his stepdaughter's children around in the sea in Zante. He was on holiday with his partner Helen, 62, stepdaughter Liza and her three daughters.

But when he woke up breathless he sought medical advice, and doctors advised he return to the UK for a biopsy on a mass in his lung they feared might be cancer.
