Before the young traveller was found in the Monkey Republic Guest House in the southern Cambodian city of Kampot, she sent her mother messages on WhatsApp saying that she ‘wasn’t well’ and they ‘might go get something to make her feel better’..
Ms Seymour’s mother Wendy Bowler, 60, of Bedfordshire, said her daughter told her they were feeling unwell, and that they were going to try to sleep it off.
The pair died after buying tablets for an upset stomach from a local chemist after suffering from symptoms of food poisoning.
It is believed Ms Seymour and Ms Amisola were found by a shocked member of staff and were quickly rushed from the backpackers’ hostel to a nearby hospital, but they couldn’t be revived.
Wendy said: ‘My daughter had already told me she wasn’t well and said she might go and get something to make her feel better.

Police had informed her of their deaths at 5am on Tuesday, she said.
