Final

AN ELDERLY British woman has been found “starved to death” after her carer son died at their Costa del Sol home.

The 90-year-old mum and her 63-year-old son were discovered by cops on a welfare check.

Police had to force their way into the home in Alhaurin el Grande, around 30 minutes away from the Costa del Sol resort of Fuengirola.

Cops believe mum starved to death after her carer son died of natural causes.

The alarm was raised by town hall workers days after an ambulance was called to their home to help the 90-year-old.

These Brits were also known to local social services, and her son is understood to have been her registered carer.

It is not clear whether the 63-year-old also had health issues.

Civil Guard officers who investigated the case believe the pair died from natural causes.

Cops say there is no suggestion they were victims of a crime.

Follow-up tests are being conducted following their post-mortems.

This comes after two other British pensioners in their 80s were found dead at their Costa Blanca home last Thursday.

The bodies of a man, 82, and woman, 74, described as friends by police, were discovered by firefighters.

They were found at their home near the small town of San Fulgencio, around a 45-minute drive south of Alicante.

Cops revealed the pair both suffered chronic illnesses and a post-mortem revealed they died from natural causes.

The alarm was raised by staff at the local councils social services department.

A spokesman for the Civil Guard in Alicante said late last night: “The Civil Guard was informed about 3.30pm through the emergency 112 service about the discovery of the lifeless bodies of two people aged around 80.

“Firefighters were at the scene along with local police from San Fulgencio when we arrived.

“The bodies have been transferred to Alicante’s Institute of Legal Medicine for the corresponding autopsy and full identification of both.”

Well, it turns out that you aren’t the only one left stunned by the revelation that the popular side is actually made from spring greens.

Nigel Thompson, who regularly posts recipes on his social media pages, took to TikTok to share his version of crispy seaweed.

“So the ingredients you need – spring greens,” he began.

“Some people still think it’s real seaweed.

“Really?”

He then went on to shred the greens – removing the main stem of each left, rolling tightly and then cutting thin strips with a sharp knife.

Once that was done, he washed the strips, and placed them on a tea towel, with another on top to ensure they were dry.

Nigel then added some oil, before putting the mixture into the air fryer.

“So on full power, we’re just going to cook them, we’ll keep turning them and keep tossing them,” he said.

“Every couple of minutes just give them a little toss.”

Once finished, he took the seaweed out, and added some sugar and a little salt to finish it off.

And while lots of people praised Nigel for sharing the recipe on TikTok, others admitted they were still struggling to come to terms with his spring greens revelation.

“I was today years old when I learned that it was not actual seaweed,” one gasped.

“You’re not the first!” Nigel replied.

“I’m 41 and just learnt it’s not seaweed,” another admitted.

“Omg it’s not seaweed it’s just greens!” a third marvelled.

“I was one of the folk who thought it was real seaweed till a few weeks ago,” someone else said.

“To this day I really thought it was real seaweed!” another wrote.

“Only realised recently that it wasn’t actual seaweed,” someone else added.

As another admitted: “I spent years deep frying every type of seaweed I could find before I, by pure chance, watched a Chinese cook use bok choi in a YouTube video.”

“Joining the didn’t know it wasn’t seaweed club at 51,” someone else laughed.

While other comments came from people who were stunned that others DIDN’T know what ‘seaweed’ is made from.

“Savoy cabbage works too,” one wrote.

“Always amazes me that people still think it’s actual real seaweed!”

“I love crispy seaweed and didn’t know it was so easy,” another praised.

“Thanks for this, going to make some ASAP.”

“I used to help make this when I worked at a Chinese wholesalers in Manchester,” a third commented.

“They finished it with a sprinkle of fish powder.”

“Tried this tonight for tea, it was AMAZING,” someone else gushed.
