A family have been left ‘heartbroken’ after a mother-of-four died suddenly while on holiday in Egypt.
Liz Boardman, 40, had jetted off to the Red Sea coast city of Hurghada when she passed away on November 11.
She had gone on the week-long trip to the five-star Sunrise Garden Beach Resort with her partner, Alan, and three youngest sons – aged seven, ten and 14 – on November 6.
But tragically the ‘kind-hearted’ carer, from Bolton, Greater Manchester, passed away just days later.
Her family have been left searching for answers after Mrs Boardman’s sister Jen Cook confirmed that the ‘loving’ mother had no underlying health issues.
Mrs Boardman’s body was flown back to the UK on Friday, November 15 and the family are now waiting on the results of an autopsy to find out her possible cause of death.
Ms Cook said: ‘There will be a full post-mortem and that’s what we’re waiting for.
‘We still don’t have answers as to the causes of Liz’s death, she was flown back to the UK on Friday It’s so sudden, the world has just collapsed.

‘She was an amazing mother, and her boys were her life – she lived for her boys. She was loved by so many people. She was just a warm and kind-hearted person.
‘We’re all trying our best to be there to support them.
‘Liz had so many friends, she had such a positive impact on so many people.
‘She’d do anything for her boys, she was always there to support them. She was such a good mum.
‘We are heartbroken and don’t know how we will recover from this loss.’
Her sister said Mrs Boardman’s children, including her oldest son, who is 19, are being cared for and supported by her family.
A GoFundMe page has been set up for Mrs Boardman by her friend, Michelle Lowe, to help raise money for her funeral.
A tribute on the page reads: ‘Liz had recently celebrated her 40th birthday in August.
‘Whilst on holiday in Egypt with her boys Liz suddenly passed away unexpectedly leaving her boys.
‘This page is to help raise funds for funeral expenses, grave stone and to help the boys as much as possible at this extremely sad and difficult time.
‘Liz was full of life and lived for her boys, any help would be greatly appreciated.’
