The Russian woman, Anastasia Popova, was on a vacation with her mother and her two daughters, when the mother fainted and was later diagnosed with a ruptured artery in the heart. The incident prompted them to bring the matriarch to a private hospital, where she eventually died and left Popova with a bill amounting to USD 228,700 (AED 840,000).
