Three people were found dead at Gainsborough Care Home in Dorset and seven were taken to hospital earlier today after a 'major incident' was declared following the call to the police at 7.16am.
Police investigating a 'possible carbon monoxide poisoning' at a Swanage care home that left three residents dead have released a woman under investigation.
Seven other residents remain in hospital following the incident that saw the care home, which included bed bound patients, evacuated early yesterday morning. The operations manager said: 'Everyone is shocked. It's a big tragedy that does not seem real and there's a lot of sadness, which will not stop today.
Another neighbour told MailOnline: 'We really don't know anything, all I can say is that home made a big effort to make everything so lovely and welcoming. It is just very sad.' 'People were in and out all day. By teatime all the residents were gone. It's tragedy but we are a good, strong community.' 'We would like to extend our thanks to our care teams for their work in managing the situation and caring for residents during such a challenging time. We are also grateful for the kind messages received and the practical support provided from partner public sector agencies, the local community and other social care providers.
