The devastated boyfriend of a married British woman who died only days after travelling to India to meet him has spoken of her sudden death.

Mother-of-three Angela Slinn, 45, of Crewe, Cheshire, flew to the country to see Jaspal Singh, 30, who she met on Facebook, on May 4 but died on Sunday after being taken to hospital with pneumonia.

‘I had to tell her daughter her mother had died,' Mr Singh, who believes the hot Indian weather killed his lover, told MailOnline. 'It was the hardest thing I have ever had to do.

'I still cannot believe she is no more. How can she die? She was a healthy person. I am still in shock, I just cannot believe what has happened.’

Mr Singh, from Ludhiana, northern India and Mrs Slinn started talking on Facebook last May, and Jaspal said she was quick to tell him she had got divorced ten years ago and has two children.

‘Initially we were very formal with each other,' he said. 'We talked about our jobs, she told me she was a nurse and she told me had immense faith in God. But slowly we were chatting more often and for longer.

‘After a month she asked if I wanted to Skype. I was very happy when I saw her for the first time on video chat, she was very pretty.

'She told me: "I was praying to God to send me my soul mate and now I’ve found you". I couldn’t believe her words and I blushed. I was very happy to hear her say those words.’

Soon they were speaking on Skype every day and Mr Singh met her children on video chat too.

‘In January this year she told me she wanted to meet me, but I told her it was cold so to wait a while,’ he said.

‘And then when she told me she wanted to come in May she booked her tickets before I could tell her it was very hot in May. She just booked her tickets.’

Mrs Slinn arrived at Amritsar Airport at 2am on May 4 and Jaspal picked her up, but they didn’t hug or kiss.

Mrs Slinn, who worked as a nurse, had spoken of the trip to visit Mr Singh to her children, aged 15 to 24 – but did not mention it to her husband Stephen, 48

‘I was very excited to see her,’ he said. ‘And she looked so angelic and beautiful. I was so happy to meet her but we didn’t hug or kiss or anything.’

During her first week in India, Mr Singh took her to see a few tourist spots but regrets not visiting the Golden Temple with her.

He added: ‘She wanted to see the Golden Temple but I kept putting it off because it was so hot outside and I thought it’d be too much for her. I regret that now, I regret not taking her like she wanted.’

Mrs Slinn spent most of her time with Mr Singh and his father Sradar Krishan Singh Toor, 55, and mother Kiranjit Kaur, 52 in their home.

Her lover, who earns 15,000 Rs (£150) a month as a junior marketing executive at a factory in Ludhiana, added: ‘She was a lovely person. She was very grounded and polite and very spiritual.

'She was always talking about her faith in God, although she never told me if she was interested in Sikhism or wanted to convert to Sikhism.’

Mr Singh believes that in time he would have proposed to Mrs Slinn as the time he spent with her was so magical.

‘It was too soon to talk about marriage, we’d only just met,' he said. 'Though we said "I love you" to each other many times, we were just enjoying our time together.

When the doctors told me she had died I could not believe it. The earth beneath my feet began to crumble

'She even learnt to say "I love you" in Punjabi.’

But on May 11 she developed a mild fever and bad throat.

‘I took her to our local doctor who suggested it was a viral fever and advised some medicines,' Mr Singh said.

'She took those medicines and she felt better for two days, but she started coughing and it got worse.’

She was admitted to Deep Hospital, Model Town where doctors referred her on May 16 to Satguru Partap Singh Apollo Hospital in Sherpur, Ludhiana.

She died suddenly of multiple organ failure the following day. Medical reports suggest she had acute pneumonia, which caused the fatal respiratory arrest.

He added: ‘When the doctors told me she had died I could not believe it. The earth beneath my feet began to crumble.

'My mother was at the hospital. She started crying. My mother was with her taking care of her day and night. She did a lot for her. She had become a member of our family member. Her death is a huge loss for us.

‘I feel she died because of the weather, had she not come to meet me she would still be alive. I cannot believe she is dead. It is very hard for me at the moment.’

Dr Gurpreet Singh, critical care specialist and senior pulmonologist at Satguru Partap Singh Apollo Hospital, said Mrs Slinn was brought to them in a critical condition.

He said: ‘She was brought to us on the afternoon of May 16. She was already in a very critical condition and had been sick for ten days.

'We diagnosed her with severe pneumonia and she died of multiple organ failure on the morning of May 17 at around 10am.

‘She was referred to us from another hospital. It’s hard to say if we could’ve saved her. She’d been sick for ten days and if she was brought to us earlier who knows what the outcome could’ve been. But she did not have any poor medical history.’

Mr Singh - who lives in Ludhiana, Punjab (pictured) and first met his lover in 2014 - said he 'can't believe' Mrs Slinn has passed away

Ludhiana police commissioner Pramod Ban, said: ‘Angela, a divorcee, and Jaspal Singh of Ludhiana had become friends on social networking website Facebook a few months ago. Jaspal Singh is a bachelor and a private firm employee.

‘Since a visiting foreigner has died we have to investigate the matter thoroughly.

She went to India because she thought she'd found love - but it turned into tragedy

'So far, we have no reason for any doubt. The woman caught pneumonia after landing in India and Jaspal took her to hospital where her condition got worse.’

Mrs Slinn had spoken of the trip to her children, aged 15 to 24 – but did not mention it to her husband Stephen, 48, according to The Sun.

Her mother-in-law Doreen Slinn said: 'I don't understand how a healthy woman can suddenly die like that. She went to India because she thought she'd found love - but it turned into tragedy.'

Mrs Slinn, a former St Andrews University student who is from Dundee and has also lived in Germany, described Mr Singh on her Facebook profile as 'my handsome man Jaspal'.

In return, Mr Singh, who studied at Satish Chander Dhawan Government College, has commented on a number of her photographs, referring to her as 'beautiful' and 'my love'.

The pair used the social network to regularly share photographs of one another, under which they both often declared their feelings.

On January 2, the couple changed their relationship status to confirm to friends and family that they were together.

Beneath the post, Mr Singh commented requesting mutual friends to confirm the pair's projected marriage date with Mrs Slinn.

Mrs Slinn lived in a £125,000 detached house in Crewe with her husband, but it is understood he had left the property before she went to India.

Mrs Slinn was known throughout the town, and is believed to have recently acted as a carer.

One person described the 45-year-old as a friendly face in the community.

The neighbour, who asked not to be named, said: 'She was very quiet, never any trouble.
