Five people interviewed following suspected carbon monoxide leak at a Morecambe hotel

Detectives investigating a suspected carbon monoxide leak at a Morecambe hotel have now interviewed five people as part of their enquiries.

An investigation was launched following an incident on Boxing Day last year where five people were taken to hospital following the suspected gas leak at the Royal Hotel, Marine Road Central, Morecambe.

All those affected on that occasion were discharged but police enquiries established that in November last year a 66-year-old man had died at the hotel. Tests showed Graham Holden had a high level of carbon monoxide in his blood.

Last Thursday two people were arrested on suspicion of manslaughter. They are a 41-year-old man from Morecambe, a 42-year-old man from Bolton le Sands.

On Friday 10th of June a man in his 60s from Morecambe was arrested in connection with this investigation.

This week a two further people have been interviewed in connection with this inquiry – a man in his 50s and one in his 70s, both from Morecambe.

DI Dylan Hrynkow, of West CID, said: “This is an incredibly complex and sensitive investigation and I would ask for patience while we establish the full circumstances of what has occurred. However, my thoughts are very much with the loved ones of the deceased at this time.”

The police investigation into the cause of the suspected carbon monoxide poisoning is continuing and anyone with information is asked to contact 101 quoting log reference 0353 of December 26.

Alternatively contact independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

The venue came into new management last month.
