David Humphries, 62, collapsed after playing in a hotel pool with his young grandchildren last month.
The family group, which included David’s wife Lynda, 59, their daughter Anita and two grandchildren, were on a two-week holiday in the resort of Hurghada when the tragedy happened.
were told it was necessary given the concerns they had expressed about the hospital’s treatment of David.
Anita said: “We didn’t trust anyone anymore but they told us it was a police inquiry.
“When the body arrived home we were told it was in no state to be seen. That’s when alarms started ringing. His heart is most likely the thing that will tell us how he died. Now we’ll never know.”
The shocking discovery that David’s heart and kidneys were missing was made soon after his body arrived home, when the UK coroner requested a second post-mortem.
Lynda, his wife of 39 years Lynda, said: “We want answers.”
A Foreign and Commonwealth Office spokesperson told The Sun: “We are assisting the family of the British man who died in Hurghada on 18 September.
“Our staff in Cairo continue to request further information from the Egyptian authorities to share with both the family and the UK coroner.”
Organ trading has long been an issue in Egypt, with poverty driving some people to illegally sell body parts. In July, 37 people were convicted of [B]illicit human organ trading[/B] in a Cairo court.

I have heard that in India mchele sio unaibiwa pesa na simu. Ukiwekewa mchele unapatikana next day with a surgical incision kwa tumbo; alive but bila liver na kidneys.
Hakuna kitu mbaya kama organ theft it prevents a person from going to heaven unafika kwa gate St Peter anakuambia no entry you are half a person. Heaven is not for the disabled. They belong in purgatory
Btw this is very common practice especially in Asia. You know those Kenyan alcoholic billionaires who go ‘abroad’ (India) with liver and kidney diseases and then come back home all fixed up? The chances of the organs failing due to abuse are much greater than their bodies rejecting transplants.
(edit)
I see what you are asking: Surgical removal of a very large part of the liver and also the kidneys is possible without killing you immediately. But you will die hours or days later from metabolic derangement.
Inakaa kuna mullah hapa, what’s the going rate for a functioning heart? If say you were in an accident and you are brain dead na haujaachia your family anything, there should be an open market for your organs at least usiwache watu wako wakiwa mbaya saidi.
