The Telegraph, citing a spokesperson for the British High Commission in Sri Lanka, reported that McIntosh was an assistant director of the upcoming James Bond movie, which is being filmed on location. McIntosh had been working as a production runner on the film. She had previously worked on movies including Maleficent and Murder on the Orient Express, The Telegraph said.

Sri Lanka is probing tourist deaths due to pest fumigation

Sri Lankan police say they are investigating the death of two foreign tourists, suspected to have succumbed to poisoning after the fumigation against insects in their hostel rooms.

The tourists, both women, a 24-year-old Briton and a 26-year-old German, were discovered sick in their hostel rooms in the capital Colombo. The British woman named as Ebony McIntosh died in hospital on February 2, the same day she had arrived at the hostel. The German woman died on February 3.

A German man is still receiving treatment in the hospital.

Police said tests have been carried out to determine if the deaths were caused by poisoning due to the fumigation of the room. Sri Lankan media reported that the hostel had been fumigated for bed bugs and other pests days before and said that the hostel has been closed by the police.

McIntosh's family has launched an online fundraising page to bring her body home, describing how she and others in the hostel were rushed to hospital to be treated for vomiting, nausea, and in Ebony's case, difficulty breathing.

Enjoy the little things in life. For one day, you may look back and realize they were the big things. Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
