The mum-of-one, described as a “devoted accountant,” had flown out alone to the popular resort – but her sunshine break ended in horror within hours of her arrival.

Paramedics scrambled to the scene but were unable to save her. She was tragically pronounced dead on the beach.

Russian outlet SHOT reported: “Witnesses immediately called rescuers and an ambulance, but doctors were unable to save her and pronounced her dead at the scene.”

The captain of the parasail boat and the boss of the company behind it have since been taken into custody as police probe the shocking incident.

Local media said Linariya may have strayed beyond the safety buoys when she was struck by the vessel.

In the aftermath, Turkish officials have moved to temporarily ban vessel traffic in the area while investigators establish exactly what happened.

Linariya, who leaves behind a 20-year-old daughter, had been looking forward to her getaway – but never made it past the first day.

Peter Colville, 60, from Woking, , was on a family trip to Alanya in Turkey with ten relatives, including his children and grandchildren.

The devastated family claimed “unbothered staff” carried on partying after his body was retrieved from the water and covered up with a towel.

They were on the £200 Legend Big Kral ship with ten relatives, including Peter’s children and grandchildren, when he

Nakita Colville, Peter’s 27-year-old daughter, said around 600 guests were onboard at the time.

But tragedy struck on the second swim stop by Cleopatra Beach.

Peter disappeared while in the water and moments later, swimmers found him face-up and unconscious and dragged him back on deck.

Guests began administering CPR – but Nakita said the staff were “unbothered and clueless”.

“They just stood there watching,” she said.

A barman reportedly declared Peter dead before staff covered his body and face with a towel.

The coastguard arrived, and Peter was rushed to hospital – where he was confirmed dead.

It was later revealed that the staff on board “apologised” to guests for “delaying the foam party which was a part of the excursions package deal.

Nakita said: “We were living the worst moments of our lives but as soon as we were taken off, the crew just apologised to guests because the foam party was delayed, I’ve been told.”

Instead of comforting grieving relatives – including two young grandchildren – she claims staff were more concerned about resuming the party.

The admin assistant added: “My dad was the loveliest dad and grandad and he deserved to be treated with respect – and he wasn’t.

“We can’t say it was the company’s fault that he died, but maybe he could’ve been saved – and how it was dealt with was awful.”

reviews from fellow passengers back up the family’s claims.

One wrote: “He was laid on the deck – and then nothing. No proper procedures, no clearing the deck from onlookers, no immediate CPR. A crew member looked into his eyes and declared him dead.”
