A woman has died almost two months after losing her husband following a suspected carbon monoxide leak at a villa in Spain.
The body of Jaime Carsi, 40, was discovered by emergency crews at the property in Majorca on 6 May.
Wife Mary Somerville, 39, was found to be in a serious condition next to him and was taken to Manacor Hospital for treatment.
It has since been announced that Ms Somerville passed away on 2 July at St Columba's Hospice Care in Edinburgh.
In a funeral notice via D Chisholm & Sons, Ms Somerville was described as the "beloved wife of the late Jaime, adored daughter of Helena and David, much-loved sister of Misha and John, also a dear sister-in-law, auntie and friend to many".
The date of her funeral at Inverness Crematorium is yet to be confirmed. Donations in memory of Ms Somerville are to be gifted to not-for-profit organisation The Art of Living UK.
The newlyweds, who lived in Edinburgh, were staying at a house in Cala Mesquida in the northeast of Majorca when the incident happened.
