Egypt’s Public Prosecution announced on Saturday that a committee from the Faculty of Engineering at South Valley University inspected the room belonging to the British tourist couple who died in a Hurghada hotel on Tuesday, revealing that AC gas leakage did not kill them as previously suspected. The statement said that the Public Prosecution is awaiting the final report from the Forensic Medicine on tests conducted from the victim’s samples. The prosecution also ordered the Forensic Medicine to examine the bodies and discover the cause of death. Preliminary reports from Forensic Medicine reported no signs of criminal violence or resistance, ruling out murder. The couple, John and Susan Cooper, was found dead on Tuesday in their hotel room, with fears they that they had suffered Carbon Monoxide poisoning from their room’s faulty air-conditioning unit.
