E.coli at hotel where couple died

E.coli has been found at the Egyptian hotel where a British couple died but this does not establish the cause of their deaths, tour operator Thomas Cook said.

The firm commissioned tests of food, water and air at the Steigenberger Aqua Magic Hotel in the Red Sea resort of Hurghada after John and Susan Cooper, who were both in their sixties and from Burnley, Lancashire, died on 21 August. The tests identified a high level of e.coli and staphylococcus bacteria.
