Richard Ribeiro is pleading for answers regarding the death of his daughter, Morgan Maria Ribeiro, who died at 20 after undergoing gastric sleeve surgery in Turkey. Morgan, from Croydon, South London, had the surgery in January 2024, but complications arose during her flight back to Gatwick Airport, necessitating an emergency landing in Serbia. There, it was discovered that she was suffering from septic shock due to a cut in her small intestine during the procedure. Despite surgical intervention, she suffered a heart attack and was placed in a coma, ultimately passing away four days later. The cause of death was determined to be a rupture of the intestinal wall. The inquest, led by Assistant Coroner Laura Stephenson, has been delayed as the surgeon involved has not responded to inquiries. Ribeiro, expressing his grief, stated he would wait as long as necessary to uncover whether malpractice was involved.
