Death by Fumigation Sri Lanka Probes Tourist Deaths in Hostel Rooms

The recent deaths of two foreign tourists in Sri Lanka have raised concerns about the safety of travelers in the country. The incident highlights the importance of ensuring that measures taken to control pests do not inadvertently put people's lives at risk.

According to reports, the two women, a 24-year-old British national and a 26-year-old German, were found sick in their hostel rooms in Colombo. They had been staying at the hostel for just a day when they began to show symptoms of poisoning, including vomiting, nausea, and difficulty breathing.

The victims were rushed to hospital where they sadly passed away. The German man who was also staying at the hostel is still receiving treatment.

An investigation has been launched by Sri Lankan police to determine if the deaths were caused by the fumigation of the room. Tests have been conducted to rule out poisoning as a possible cause of death.

The hostel had been fumigated days before the incident, reportedly for bed bugs and other pests. The authorities have since closed the hostel pending further investigation.

In response to this tragedy, the family of one of the victims has launched an online fundraising page to bring her body back home. They are seeking funds to cover the costs of repatriating Ebony McIntosh's remains.

This incident serves as a sobering reminder that even seemingly small actions can have far-reaching consequences. It is essential for authorities and establishments to take necessary precautions to ensure the safety of tourists and locals alike.
