A British father plunged to his death just hours after he was escorted off a plane in Turkey after getting in a drunken fight with his partner, an inquest has heard.
Ben Crook, 32, was reported missing after he flew out to Antalya to celebrate his 32nd birthday with his partner Jess Jenkins and her two children on September 23.
He began drinking after setting off from his home in Abertridwr, Caerphilly county, and continued to do so inside Bristol Airport and onboard the plane.
Having also taken cocaine, he behaved erratically on the flight by shouting at a male air steward when they refused to serve him more alcohol on the plane.
A drunken row with his partner then followed and he smashed both their phones which led him to being escorted off the plane when it landed in Turkey, the inquest at Gwent Coroner's Court heard.
