Daughter says 'Our family has been broken' after parents tragically die in Egypt. John Cooper and his wife Susan were enjoying a holiday at the Red Sea resort of Hurghada when they died of carbon monoxide poisoning due to bedbug fumigation.
John Cooper, 69, and his wife, Susan, 63, from Burnley, died on August 21, 2018. They became ill while staying at Steigenberger Aqua Magic Hotel in HurghadaA British couple who fell suddenly ill in their hotel room at a resort in Egypt died from carbon monoxide poisoning after the room next door was sprayed with pesticide to kill bed bugs, a coroner ruled today.
The pesticide was diluted with dichloromethane - a chemical that creates carbon monoxide - and the room was then sealed with masking tape around the door, the inquest heard. Hours later the couple returned to their room next door for the night. 'However, whatever the outcome today was, nothing would ever make up for the pain and loss we've felt since that day.
'There's now a huge void in our lives and I don't think our family will ever fully come to terms with losing mum and dad the way we did. They were both fit and healthy, and to not know how they died has been extremely difficult. He said the spraying had created sufficient vapour to pass under the adjoining door and poison the couple.
'Our family still struggle to comprehend what we went through that day and feel like it should never have happened. The last few years have been the most traumatic time for all of us. Jatinder Paul, a lawyer from Irwin Mitchell, representing the family, added: 'To find out that the couple died from a pesticide that had been sprayed in an adjoining room, leading to carbon monoxide poisoning, is shocking and deeply concerning.
He added: 'I would say a ten-hour exposure duration, in theory, would be sufficient to cause carbon monoxide poisoning.' 'It is typical of something in the environment and carbon monoxide is a common environmental toxin. It shows lots of features I would expect to see in carbon monoxide poisoning.The couple died during their stay at the Steigenberger Aqua Magic Hotel in Hurghada, Egypt
Dr Gent said: 'I can't help further with the source of carbon monoxide. I can't go further on the source without being able to re-examine the premises at the time the deaths occurred.' But at 1am Mr Cooper rang to say she was feeling a little unwell and he escorted his granddaughter to her mother's room in an upper floor.
Two doctors were summoned but they were in 'panic mode', Ms Ormerod said, as her parents further deteriorated and her father struggled to breathe.CPR was attempted but Mr Cooper was declared dead on the hotel room floor and his wife was taken to a clinic at the hotel where she became 'super agitated' and delirious, the inquest heard.
Hours later around lunchtime he was outside her room when he saw three men, two wearing the hotel uniform and the other with a two or three litre pesticide canister he assumed being used to get rid of the bed bugs.After five or 10 minutes they left the room and used masking tape to tape up around the door and seal the room.He said that day, the air conditioning in the hotel was not working and a cleaner told the family the hotel was undertaking maintenance on the system.
