UK authorities will not investigate the circumstances surrounding the death of an British conspiracy theorist in Poland, the Foreign Office has revealed. 
 
 Two days before he died, Max Spiers allegedly told his mother: "Your boy's in trouble. If anything happens to me, investigate." 
 
 The father-of-two, from Canterbury, was found dead on a sofa in a Warsaw apartment on 16 July. 
 
 Polish authorities said Mr Spiers died from natural causes, but his mother claims no post-mortem examination was carried out on his body in the country, which he had visited to give a series of speeches and interviews about his investigations. 
 
 The 39-year-old was prominent in conspiracy theorist circles, and had made a career out of investigating UFOs and alleged cover-ups. His mother, Vanessa Bates, 63, said he had recently moved on to investigating politicians, business people, and celebrities. 
 
 Friends of Mr Spiers said he died after vomiting a black liquid and complaining of migraines for several days. They believe the circumstances surrounding his death were suspicious. 
 
 But the Foreign Commonwealth Office (FCO) said it was not investigating the death as it happened abroad. 
 
 A spokesperson told The Independent the FCO provided assistance to the family of a British national following his death, but explained the UK had no jurisdiction to investigate the death of British nationals overseas. 
 
 They said investigations into Mr Spiers' death were the responsibility of the Polish government. 
 
 It comes after Ms Bates gave an interview in which she said her son’s investigations into UFOs and government cover-ups may have made him enemies who wanted him dead. 
 
 She said he was “exposing” who was “dangerous in the world of government [and] the entertainment world". 
 
 “These people seemed to be involved in some very, very dark and dangerous areas of the world and I was afraid that as he was gaining popularity and fame that perhaps somebody would want him out of the way i.e. not alive any longer," she said in the interview posted on Youtube. 
 
 Ms Bates described her son as “incredibly strong, incredibly fit, nothing wrong with him at all". 
 
 She said he was "in incredibly good spirits” before he left Kent, where he had been staying with her, and suggested he was unlikely to have died of natural causes. 
 
 In Warsaw, Ms Bates said: “He was staying with a woman who he had not known for long and she told me how she found him dead on the sofa. 
 
 “But I think Max had been digging in some dark places and I fear that somebody wanted him dead.” 
 
 Ms Bates said her son had suffered from migraines in the days before he died and was taking antibiotics when she last spoke to him on 14 July. He also complained on social media of being “way too tired” around this time, and cancelled an interview because of his health. 
 
 He was found dead on 16 July. 
 
 In the last interview he gave, Mr Spiers discussed the Fourth Reich with a Polish youtube channel. He claimed Nazis and Zionists were “working in alignment” after a war stretching back “50,000 years”. 
 
 He said: “If you look at the word Zion you just change a vowel around and switch the letters around and you have the word Nazi. 
 
 “I don’t believe they were always running with each other but I do believe they were at odds. This war stems back 50,000 years. They just weren’t called Nazi and Zion, that’s a modern-day nom.” 
 
 Mr Spiers also spoke about Dulce, which he believed was a secret underground alien base in New Mexico. 
 
 Mr Spiers said he had seen inside a base where he claimed children were being used for their “pure energy”. 
 
 He said: “I have seen a vat of children in disassociated states, some crying, some not and some completely gone. 
 
 “They also have female breeders down there constantly breeding children, thousands of them.“ 
 
 Although his theories appear farfetched, many of Mr Spiers online followers believe he may have been murdered because of his investigations. 
 
 On one website, Project Camelot, a blogger wrote: “The entire circumstances are suspicious and I urge everyone to encourage the release of details about what really happened and call for an autopsy.” 
 
 Another, Craig Hewlett, added: “If it wasn't true what he talks about then why would they kill him? Healthy people don't just get sick and die, they get poisoned.” 
 
 Miles Johnson, who runs supernatural conspiracy theory group the Bases project and knew Mr Spiers personally, said in an interview with Project Camelot: “A person has died here and I don't think it's good enough [that] somebody who just took normal medication should end up vomiting, spewing black liquid, whatever it was. And then shortly after that, whatever length of time it was, he died.” 
 
 Ms Bates said: “All I have is a death certificate from the Polish authorities that it was from natural causes, but no post-mortem was done, so how can they tell that? 
 
 “They are also refusing to release any paperwork about it to me because, absurdly, I don't have his written permission.”

 Mr Spiers was buried in Canterbury cemetery after his mother arranged to have his body flown home a week after his death. 
 
 Because Mr Spiers' body was repatriated, a UK coroner's investigation could be initiated and a post-mortem examination was carried out by a pathologist in Kent. However, Ms Bates said she still did not know the result more than two months later, or whether there would be an inquest. 
 
 She said: "Apparently, he had not suffered any obvious physical injuries but he could have been slowly poisoned, which is why the results of toxicology tests from his post-mortem are so important." ||||| UFO hunter texted 'If anything happens to me, investigate' before he died 
 
 A 39-year-old British conspiracy theorist and UFO phenomenologist who was found dead in Warsaw in June sent his mother a text days before his death telling her, "If anything happens to me, investigate." 
 
 Max Spiers, who was in excellent health according to his family, was discovered dead on a couch by a woman he was staying with ahead of a conference he was due to speak at in Poland. Polish authorities attributed the death to natural causes, but no post-mortem was performed at the time. 
 
 "I think Max had been digging in some dark places and I fear that somebody wanted him dead," his mother, Vanessa Bates, told the Telegraph. 
 
 Scott C. Waring of UFO Sightings Daily told the Metro, "This is really strange. It does seem that UFO researchers are now being targeted, probably to slow the rate of information being leaked to the public." 
 
 Adds another UFO blogger, Craig Hewlett "If it wasn't true what he talks about then why would they kill him? Healthy people don't just get sick and die, they get poisoned." 
 
 But British UFO expert Nick Pope denied there was any any clandestine campaign by the so-called Men in Black or other government agents to eliminate UFO hunters who get to close to "the truth." 
 
 "The death of Max Spiers was a tragedy, but having run the UK government's UFO project I promise we don't go around killing UFO researchers," he said via Twitter. 
 
 Bates said her son had made a name for himself among investigators of UFO sightings and alleged cover-ups. She vowed to get to the bottom of her son's death. 
 
 After Spiers' body was returned to England, an autopsy was carried out by a pathologist in east Kent, according to the Metro, but Bates said the results will not be known for several months. 
 
 The North East Kent coroner's office confirmed the death was at the "very early" stages of investigation. 
 
 Spiers, the father of two boys, was buried in a Canterbury cemetery. 
 
 Among his beliefs, compiled by the Mirror, include these: 
 
 Zionists and Nazis: "I believe because they have the same agenda — they both want to put into place the New World Order." 
 
 Extraterrestrials: "We are receiving all kinds of help from masters, ETs and extra dimensional type angelic beings, and learning very quickly to go inward." 
 
 Information downloads via sex: "A lot of women were being used to be set up with very important politicians or entertainers - people in high positions - and sleep with them. They would seduce these people in high positions. And when they sleep with them this information would be downloaded through the act of sex, and it would go back to whoever is controlling them." ||||| Ms Bates remarks have prompted fevered online speculation among conspiracy theorists. Scott C Waring of UFO Sightings Daily told Metro: “This is really strange. It does seem that UFO researchers are now being targeted, probably to slow the rate of information being leaked to the public.” 
 
 However, author and journalist Nick Pope, who investigated the UFO phenomenon for the Ministry of Defence in the early Nineties, said on Twitter: “The death of Max Spiers was a tragedy, but having run the UK Government's UFO project I promise we don't go around killing UFO researchers.” 
 
 Ms Bates described her son as a “very fit man who was in good health", adding: "All I have is a death certificate from the Polish authorities that it was from natural causes, but no post-mortem was done so how can they tell that? 
 
 "They are also refusing to release any paperwork about it to me because, absurdly, I don't have his written permission. 
 
 "He has a brother, Josh, and sister, Becky, who are both devastated, as are his two boys. We all want answers to this and I will continue to fight to get to the truth." 
 
 North East Kent coroner's office said that an investigation into Mr Spiers’ death was in its “very early" stages. ||||| Christine Fensome, from Herefordshire, was on a dream trip to Mexico with her husband Andy Bennetts when she became ill

 A NEWLYWED bride died on her honeymoon from a heart attack believed to have been caused by eating fish. 
 
 Christine Fensome, 54, was on a dream trip to Mexico with her husband Andy Bennetts, 58, when she became ill during the night on September 27 - just 10 days after her wedding.

 Her children have been told the evening before she died Chris ate fish, thought to have contained high levels of mercury, which may have led to her organs shutting down. 
 
 It is the second tragedy to hit the family after they lost their dad Craig in 2004, who was killed in a hit-and-run at the age of 41. 
 
 Her three children Brad, 33, Richard, 30 and Hayley, 29, say their mother struggled to get over the loss until meeting Andy seven years ago.

 They say Andy taught her to "love again" and the pair tied the knot on September 17 before jetting off on their honeymoon. 
 
 Her brother James Bowyer, 49, said the family had been told her fatal sudden illness had been caused by eating a grouper fish contaminated with a toxin from a plankton that is found on coral, algae and seaweed. 
 
 He said: "If anything can come from my sister's death it is raising awareness about eating fish abroad. Knowledge appears to be quite limited about ciguatera food poisoning but it can be a hidden killer. 
 
 "Due to global warming the toxin is becoming more prevalent and is found on algae on coral reefs in certain parts of the world - including the Gulf of Mexico. 
 
 "The algae gets eaten by smaller fish and those fish get eaten by larger fish like groupers and barracudas. 
 
 "There are no known tests to detect it and there is no effective treatment for it. So there was nothing Christine could have really done. 
 
 Facebook Christine (right) was having the time of her life when she suddenly fell ill 
 
 "Restaurants over there tend to serve smaller fish as that means smaller the amount of potential toxins. 
 
 "Ciguatera poisonings are quite common but deaths are extremely rare. It can cause shooting pains in the chest and in my sisters' case it caused her to have a heart attack." 
 
 Daughter Hayley said: "Everyone says to me 'stay focused, stay strong, keep going for your mum and dad.' 
 
 "But it is hard. I used to cry to mum that my dad would not be able to walk me down the aisle and she would tell me that she would be there to walk me down the aisle. But now I haven't got anyone. 
 
 "She would talk to anyone. People met her once and fell in love with her. She would do anything for any of us. 
 
 "She loved her life for us. She tried so hard to be both mum and dad. We can't really grieve our mum as we don't know how [she died] or why." 
 
 Christine, from Burghill, Herefordshire, was described as being a "fit and active" regular gym-goer who doted on her five grandchildren. 
 
 Hayley said when their father died Christine had struggled to come to terms with the shock and became a recluse. 
 
 Facebook Christine took this photo while she was holidaying in Mexico 
 
 Facebook The couple were on their dream honeymoon in Mexico when she died 
 
 She added: "Our mum didn't come out of the house for five years. She couldn't get going. 
 
 "But she found her feet again slowly and found happiness at the end. 
 
 "She just looked beautiful [on her wedding day]. It was a lovely day and the sun was shining." 
 
 Son Richard said: "The fact she went from happy to dark times and finally got happiness again and then this. 
 
 "It is too much to take in. It is a major shock. Mum stuck us all together. She was the glue and now she has gone." 
 
 Christine had started working as an office administrator at Hartwell Ford a few months ago. 
 
 She also leaves behind her mum Sybil Bowyer, her brother James Bowyer, and sister Marion Bevan. 
 
 Her funeral will be held on October 21 at St Paul's Church in Tupsley, Hereford. 
 
 Richard added: "She didn't have the ending she deserved for what she gave to life but she is going to have the farewell she deserves." 
 
 WHAT IS CIGUATERA FISH POISONING? Ciguatera fish poisoning is an illness caused by eating fish that contain toxins produced by algae. 
 
 Terrifyingly, the illness has no cure and symptoms such as vomiting, tingling toes and fingers and nausea can last for years. 
 
 In rare cases, it triggers respiratory or heart failure which causes death. 
 
 The risk is mostly limited to those eating reef fish such as snapper, barracuda and grouper. 
 
 Unfortunately, contaminated fish display no effects and so identifying potential instances of contamination is extremely difficult. 
 
 It is also heat-resistant, meaning cooking the fish thoroughly does not stop it causing sickness.

– Days before his death this summer, 39-year-old Max Spiers texted his mother these words: "If anything happens to me, investigate." The Brit just happened to be a well-known figure in the world of UFO researchers, and now conspiracy theories are running wild. Authorities in Poland, where Spiers died, say it was natural causes, and the British government has declined to investigate, reports the Independent. His peers in the UFO community, however, are more than a little skeptical. Kerry Cassidy at Project Camelot says "the entire circumstances are suspicious and I urge everyone to encourage [the release of details] about what really happened and call for an autopsy." Another UFO blogger says, per SFGate: "Healthy people don't just get sick and die, they get poisoned." According to the Telegraph, Spiers had been invited to Poland to speak about his theories at a conference. Friends say he had been staying with a woman in Warsaw ahead of the conference and was vomiting black liquid and suffering from migraines before being found dead on a couch. Spiers' mother, Vanessa Bates, describes him as a "very fit man who was in good health," and she fears her son made enemies after "digging into dark places." But UFO expert Nick Pope tweeted Sunday that the idea of Spiers being silenced is a little much. "Having run the UK government's UFO project I promise we don't go around killing UFO researchers." (Only in Roswell could police investigate a missing flying saucer.)
