A British dad has died from poisoning whilst on a family holiday to Disney World in Florida. Philip Weybourne, 40, was found to have fatal levels of fentanyl in his blood, an inquest heard.
The tragedy occurred whilst the 40-year-old from Kent was on holiday with his wife and young son at the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. After having a fantastic start to the trip with his family, the father then collapsed three days into the vacation at a bar.
He was rushed to hospital, where staff tried their best to save him but unfortunately his condition continued to deteriorate. Philip then died shortly after with an inquest now underway to ascertain the reason behind the tragic loss, reports the Mirror.
In a statement read at the hearing, his wife, Dorlyn Weybourne said: "We began our holiday at Disneyland, in Orlando, Florida, on May 20, 2022. On May 23, we woke up late and had no theme parks to attend on that day."
They then ate at the Boathouse restaurant in Orlando, where they had "the best lunch" and drank champagne. Dorlyn added: "Afterwards we went on an amphibious car ride and to end our day we headed back to the hotel at about 5.30pm."

Two hours later, his wife says she got a knock on her hotel room door informing her that Philip had been taken to hospital in an ambulance. Recalling the moment she was told of his condition, she added: "I asked them if it was heat stroke or a heart attack."
The father was taken to AdventHealth Celebration, where he passed away with doctors informing Dorlyn that his death was due
