Default Two British children found dead at Corfu hotel

Police said engineers would be checking the installation of air
conditioning and boiler systems at the hotel on Friday afternoon.


Done!
No sign of any kind of leakage.
That's the latest info (14:00) on the Greek TV news.

A pathologist at the hospital told reporters that he suspected the
family had ingested a "powerful poison".
Toxicology tests were taken and post-mortem examinations were being
carried out on Friday, with the results expected in two weeks' time.


It doesn't take two weeks to test for blood carbon monoxide. Two minutes
is more like it.


Like an engineer (;-)) I say you are 100% correct!
But it takes two weeks for the *full* results of the autopsy!
As a matter of fact, you can have a preliminary but *not* 100% correct
answer in 2-4 days but the full report takes about 15 days.


Last year 100,000 British tourists visited Corfu. Travel specialists
say the deaths will have a big impact on the island.



Trying to cover up the cause could have an even bigger one.


Wouldn't it be better to wait for the results of the autopsy before
talking?...

I've been in hotels in quite developed parts of Turkey that used
bottled gas heaters in rooms with no chimney; I imagine the same
happens in Greece.



Nope, it doesn't happen in Greece but maybe it does happen in the UK;-)
This kind of heating is met only in underdeveloped countries like Turkey and
in Greece *only* in some house in some mountain village forgotten by G-d!
*Never* in a hotel, especially in a 5 stars hotel like Louis (if you have
seen the pictures of the hotel you'll understand what I mean...).

It's an invitation to guests to commit suicide.
