Israeli pathologists have said a British woman who died while living in Eilat was the victim of a rare internal bleeding condition.

Julie Pearson, from Kinross in Scotland, died last November in mysterious circumstances.

This week Israeli pathologists told the British embassy that Ms Pearson had died of "natural causes" following internal bleeding in her stomach caused by an unidentified condition.

Her family believes she died following an attack by her Palestinian boyfriend and that the police had not investigated the case sufficiently. The pathology report confirmed that Ms Pearson - who moved to Israel in 2014 and had a Jewish father - had been attacked before her death.
