A British couple died from carbon monoxide poisoning after a pesticide to kill bed bugs was sprayed in the room next door at their hotel in Egypt , a coroner has ruled. John and Susan Cooper suddenly fell ill while they were staying at the Steigenberger Aqua Magic Hotel in the Red Sea resort of Hurghada in August 2018. Mr Cooper, 69, and his wife, 63, had been enjoying a 'brilliant' holiday until the eighth day of their stay, Preston Coroner's Court heard.
On Friday, Dr James Adeley, senior coroner for Lancashire, ruled the couple died as a result of carbon monoxide poisoning due to inhaling vapour from a pesticide which contained dichloromethane. 'It should never have been allowed to happen' Speaking outside the court, Mr and Mrs Cooper's daughter, Kelly Ormerod, described the 'pain and loss' family members have felt in the wake of the tragedy.
