The daughter of the couple who died said they were not at breakfast one morning, prompting her to find them in the room complaining they were poorly, surrounded by vomit while appearing to glaze over.
A hotel room in Egypt where a British couple died was next door to a room that had been sprayed with chemicals to kill bed bugs only hours before their deaths, an inquest has heard. John Cooper, 69, and his wife Susan, 63, from Burnley in Lancashire died on 21 August 2018 in the Egyptian resort of Hurghada at the Steigenberger Aqua Magic Hotel.
Mr and Mrs Cooper were not at breakfast the next day, and Ms Ormerod discovered they were seriously ill, saying her father came to the door and said 'I really don't feel well' while retching. She told the hearing her mother was in bed, 'groaning', with vomit in her hair and around the room, where she noticed a strange 'heavy' smell.
