A British mother of three died from severe burns sustained after she became trapped in a holiday villa during a wildfire in southern Spain.

Lisa Fryett, 47, was holidaying near Bedar, Almería, with her partner, Simon Batchelor, when the blaze swept through the Los Gallardos neighborhood on July 9. The couple were rescued from a mountainside after an ordeal that lasted five to six hours, according to Essex area coroner Michelle Brown.

Fryett died in a Seville hospital on July 28. Her provisional cause of death was recorded as extensive burns. Batchelor remains in critical condition.

Despite their injuries, Fryett and Batchelor pleaded to be brought to safety, expressing a desire to see their children again. Family members, including Fryett's twin sister Carly and her fiancé, rushed to Spain to be with the couple. Fryett's sons, Alfie and Charlie, and Batchelor's daughter were also able to join them at the hospital.

Alfie, Fryett's 20-year-old son, paid tribute to his mother online, calling her "the best person ever" and "my world." He expressed gratitude for being able to call her his mother and vowed to cherish their memories.

A GoFundMe campaign established to support the family has raised over £67,000. The funds are intended to help with funeral costs and other expenses not covered by insurance, according to Mia Witt, the daughter of Carly's fiancé.

In an update on July 31, the family shared the news of Fryett's passing, stating she died "surrounded by her loving family." They expressed profound sadness and gratitude for the support received, which allowed them to remain in Spain by her side.

The Almería fire resulted in at least 13 deaths, 17 injuries, and led to 1,300 evacuations. It is considered the deadliest fire in the history of the Andalusia region and the third deadliest in Spain's history. Witnesses reported a downed power line as the potential cause, which quickly ignited nearby trees. Officials noted that some individuals who deviated from designated evacuation routes became trapped, leading to fatalities, including a vehicle carrying four people and another group of seven walking who had abandoned their cars. A spokesperson for the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office confirmed they are supporting the family and in contact with local authorities.
