Emma Elliott jetted to Menorca with her partner Lee Brogden, her seven-year-old son Bobby-Lee, and her nephew Lee. She spent some of her days sunbathing at the beach-front hotel and pool but divided to wake up early one day and go for a run along the Arenal d'en Castell Beach.

Since the shocking discovery, Emma said she suffers from nightmares and daily panic attacks. "It happened on the fifth day of our holiday," Emma said.
"Up to that point we had been having a really nice time. We had been going to the beach, going on the pedalos and the discos at night time.
"That morning I woke up at 6:22am. No-one else was awake because it was so early, so I thought I would go to the gym in the hotel. But when I arrived at the gym there was a sign on the door saying it wasn't open until 9am so I decided to go on a jog along the marina.
"I had jogged halfway along the marina [about five minutes] and thought I would turn back because the sea was a bit choppy, but I decided to continue as it looked safe to do so. Four steps later, I looked to my right and there was a dead body lying on the beach.
"I had to look about three times before I realised it was a body. I thought it was a jellyfish at first.
"I can't get the image out of my head. It all seemed to happen in slow motion. I looked around the beach
