As we reported yesterday, on September 13, Egyptian authorities have finally announced the first results of the investigation into the deaths of British couple Susan and John Cooper, who died on August 21 at the Steigenberger Aqua Magic Hotel in Hurghada. According to the British online magazine TravelWeekly, this New details have emerged in the story.
According to the publication, Cooper's daughter Kelly Ormedor called the doctors at the hotel to examine her parents.
"John was suffering from diarrhea and vomiting, and the doctors gave him what they thought was the right medicine - Ringer's solution (rehydration salts) and an injection of dexamethasone. Unfortunately, his condition worsened and he died shortly after in his room," the daughter of the victims reported.
Kelly told reporters she wants more transparency in the investigation and does not trust the Egyptian authorities. She added that she would await the results of tests carried out by the UK Home Office before reaching any conclusions about how her parents died.
Let us remind you, Egyptian authorities reported According to the results of the autopsy of the bodies of the deceased, the death of the tourists was caused by Escherichia coli (an intestinal infection).
"No toxic or harmful gases or leaks were found in the couple's hotel room, but prosecutor Nabil Sadek said tests showed John, 69, had acute intestinal dysentery, caused by E. coli. His wife, Susan, 63, had hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), likely also due to E. coli," the message says.
However, the Coopers' daughter, Kelly Ormedor, disputes these findings. and claims that Egyptian authorities are "looking for someone to blame."
"I don't believe that a stomach infection led to the death of my parents. It's unheard of, no one dies so quickly from such causes," " she said in an interview with Sky News.
Hugh Pennington, international expert on E.coli, said, assessing the situation, that “death from E.coli is extremely unlikely, unless the tourists were infected with a new, not yet studied, poisonous strain.”
