Oldham pensioner Michael Graley dies on Cyprus family holiday inquest hears
Michael Graley, 76, a retired cemetery and crematorium manager from Oldham, died on August 16, 2025 while on a family holiday in Cyprus. The inquest at Rochdale Coroners' Court heard he had previously been treated for heart conditions, lung cancer and prostate cancer. His GP had deemed him fit to fly before the trip, but he became unwell in Cyprus and was taken to a hospital in Famagusta where his condition deteriorated. Assistant coroner Matthew Cox determined a full inquest is necessary and set a review date for April 16, 2026.
