A man died while on holiday in Jamaica after trying to drink all 21 cocktails on the hotel's menu.
Timothy Southern, from Staffordshire, had had 12 of the drinks when he went to his room at the Royal Decameron Club Caribbean, in Saint Ann. The 53-year-old later died at the resort.
Timothy's loved ones have now hit out at the attempts to revive him at the hotel.

The dad was on holiday with his sister, children, and other family members when the tragedy happened in May 2022. His loved ones rushed to his room when the alarm was raised, Stoke on Trent Live reports.
One family member told an inquest: "He was on his back choking. I put him in the recovery position and screamed for an ambulance.
"He was making a gurgling sound. As soon as he was in the recovery position he vomited. I was shouting his name with no response.
"When the nurse arrived I said had an ambulance been called and she said 'no'. I thought she would take over. But that was not the case.
"I noticed he was starting to lose temperature. I checked his pulse and couldn't find it. She said he had a pulse. I was starting to lose it. I got a full look at his face and I thought he had passed away.
"I said, 'Don't just sit there looking at him, start CPR'. She only gave him chest compressions. Maybe if she had known what she was doing, maybe he would still be here. The service and treatment he received was disgusting."
The inquest was told Timothy had already been drinking brandy and beer in the morning when he met two Canadian women trying to complete the 21 cocktail challenge before midnight to celebrate one of their birthdays.
A pathologist in Kingston, Jamaica, gave the cause of death as "acute gastroenteritis due to alcohol consumption". But the inquest was told toxicology reports could take three years to come back from Jamaica.
Staffordshire area coroner Emma Serrano ruled the death was alcohol-related.
