Peter Colville, a 60-year-old British property maintenance manager, died during a luxury boat excursion off the coast of Alanya, Turkey, on July 27. The incident occurred during the second swimming stop near Cleopatra Beach aboard the Legend Big Kral, a vessel marketed as a "luxury pirate ship" that offers entertainment, snorkeling, and foam parties. Colville was on holiday with ten family members, including his children and grandchildren, when he was found floating face-up and unresponsive in the water.

Fellow passengers discovered Colville unconscious and hauled him onto the deck, where they began administering CPR. According to eyewitness accounts from his daughter Nakita Colville and other travelers, the crew appeared "unbothered and clueless" during the emergency. Nakita reported that crew members "just stood there with their arms crossed" while guests attempted lifesaving measures, and a barman subsequently pronounced her father deceased before staff covered his body with a towel.

The handling of the situation after Colville's death has drawn sharp criticism from passengers. While the coastguard arrived to transport Colville's body to the hospital and his grieving family was escorted off the vessel, the boat's entertainment program continued. According to multiple accounts, crew members organized a foam party for the remaining distressed passengers shortly after the tragedy. TripAdvisor reviews from passengers on the same cruise described the crew's response as having "no proper procedures" and declared the treatment "nothing short of horrifying."

The cause of Colville's death remains unknown, with his family noting he was believed to be in good health prior to the incident. The Legend Big Kral, which reportedly carried approximately 600 passengers on the day of the tragedy, lists its capacity as 1,200 on TripAdvisor. The UK Maritime and Coastguard Agency guidelines state that pleasure cruises carrying more than 100 people should have specific safety equipment, though the application of these standards to Turkish excursion boats remains unclear as investigations continue.

British actor Callum Turner and pop superstar Dua Lipa have captured public attention with their whirlwind romance that began in January 2024 and culminated in an engagement confirmed in June. The couple's relationship timeline includes key public milestones, from being spotted together after the 'Masters of the Air' premiere in London to making their red carpet debut at the 2025 Met Gala. Their journey from initial meeting to engagement has unfolded over approximately 18 months, with both stars navigating demanding careers while building their personal connection.

The couple's first encounter reads like something from a romantic screenplay. Turner, 35, revealed to The Times that they finally met at a mutual friend's birthday party in Los Angeles after experiencing several 'near-misses' where their paths almost crossed but didn't. The most remarkable aspect of their initial meeting occurred when they sat next to each other and discovered they were both reading the same book, Hernán Díaz's 'Trust,' and had both just finished the first chapter. Turner described the moment as cinematic, noting that they realized they were 'on the same page' both literally and figuratively.

Maintaining a relationship between two high-profile careers requires strategic effort, and Turner has shared insights into how they manage the challenges of long-distance dating. The actor emphasized the importance of making time for each other regardless of busy schedules, stating their motto is 'it's never not worth it.' He recounted a recent instance where he flew to Boston for just two days to see Lipa between her tour commitments and his filming schedule, despite feeling exhausted. The couple relies heavily on FaceTime to stay connected and prioritizes creating meaningful memories during their limited time together.

Before their fateful meeting, Turner and Lipa experienced what he describes as multiple 'sliding doors' moments that nearly prevented their connection. The actor detailed one specific instance where Lipa left a party at 1:45 AM and he arrived at 2:00 AM, missing each other by mere minutes. These near-misses spanned several occasions involving mutual friends and shared social circles. Turner expressed gratitude that when they finally did meet under the right circumstances, he immediately recognized Lipa as 'the most beautiful woman in the world,' setting the stage for a relationship that would quickly progress from dating to engagement.
