Husband and wife enjoying ‘brilliant’ holiday in Egypt died of carbon monoxide poisoning

The couple died during their stay at the Steigenberger Aqua Magic Hotel in Hurghada, Egypt –

“Dr James Adeley, senior coroner for Lancashire sitting at Preston Coroner’s Court, ruled that the deaths on August 21, 2018 were caused by the spraying of the pesticide containing dichloromethane, in the adjoining room and the couple then inhaling the vapour resulting in their deaths from carbon monoxide poisoning… in less developed countries the pesticide Lambda is sometimes diluted with another substance, dichloromethane, which causes the body to metabolise or ingest carbon monoxide.”
