**Murder arrest over British tourist's Greece death**
Jacqueline Causton was on holiday in Zakynthos when she died on 14 May this year, an inquest was told.
A man has been arrested on suspicion of murdering a British woman who died in Greece earlier this year, an inquest opening has heard.
Jacqueline Causton was discovered unresponsive at her villa on the island of Zakynthos on 14 May, Doncaster Coroner's Court heard.
She was taken to a local hospital on the island, also known as Zante, but was later pronounced dead and her body was then repatriated.
Det Con Mike Tilley, of South Yorkshire Police, told the court that a man was arrested on 12 June on suspicion of murder, before being bailed and then re-arrested last weekend when "fresh evidence" emerged.
The officer said the police investigation into the case was "complex" because investigation material uncovered by the Greek authorities was "still held" in the country and some possible witnesses were foreign nationals.
He said there was "likely to be some further pathological work" needed and that the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) had yet to decide whether Greek or British authorities would lead the investigation.
The hearing was not told how the 66-year-old, from Bawtry in South Yorkshire, may have died.
Expressing her condolences to the family, area coroner Louise Slater said the case would return to court in February 2027 for an update.
In June, Doncaster Mind paid tribute, calling Jacqueline a "much-loved supporter" of the mental health charity.
It said she and her late husband had "brought so much joy to our community by transforming their home in Bawtry into a magical Christmas wonderland each year".
A spokesperson for the charity added: "Their kindness, generosity and community spirit touched countless lives, and we will always be grateful for everything they did to help us continue our work."
