An apparent healthy mum died suddenly on holiday as her devastated family pay tribute to her.
Eshe Symonds, 31, was on holiday in Jamaica when she died in unexplained circumstances on January 13.
Eshe, who ran a security business in Birmingham, was described as a "great mum" who "lived life to the full".
Her devastated family are now waiting on the results of a post mortem examination to find out how she died, reports Birmingham Live.
Sister Shannon Gordon, aged 26, told BirminghamLive: "The whole family is just in shock at the moment. We are all devastated.
"She has a little girl. Our dad Michael has cancer at the moment so this had dealt him another huge blow.
"She has lots of sisters and a brother and a step-mum. We are all heartbroken.
"Eshe had flown out for a holiday with one of her friends. Her friend is still over there. We aren't really in contact with her so we have few details.
"We are in contact with the Jamaican police who are investigating her death but everything is moving so slowly. We have little information about how she died but we know she had complained of a headache, stomach pains and vomiting.
"She died in hospital around 9pm on January 13. It is a shock as she was just perfectly healthy when she flew out."
Shannon has paid a moving tribute to her sister saying she "lived every day like it was the last."
She said: "She was quite wild, she loved to party. She was so outgoing and everybody loved her. She lived life to the full like every day was the last.
"She was very caring and a great mum. We are all going to miss her so much."
Her dad Michael has set up a GoFundMe page to help bring Eshe's body back to the UK.
The family also want to raise funds to pay for their own post mortem examination when she returns and for her funeral. So far more than £3,500 has been raised.

On GoFundMe Michael posted: "I’m 60years old fighting a long battle of cancer, my daughter (31 years old and healthy) went on a vacation to Jamaica.
"She unexpectedly died on 13/01/2022 and we want to bring her body back to get an autopsy done so that we can know the cause of her death for our family and her daughter's sake. We are asking for help and any donations would be highly appreciated.
"As you can imagine, we as a family are going through a very difficult time.
"She has left behind a seven-year-old daughter that she loved dearly. She's always wanted the best for her and we want to ensure that we fulfil her wishes.
"This fundraiser has been created to ease some stress off our family and raise some funds to give her the send-off that she deserves and provide the best support for her daughter who she had left behind.
"She deserves the best send-off, GAZA style as she would say. We as a community can do this by coming together at this time.
"R.I.P Katty you're with the angels now. We Love and Miss You Dearly."
Eshe leaves behind her seven-year-old daughter, father Michael, step-mum Veronica, sisters Kimesha, Shannon and Jade and brother Jamie.
