Parents of university student, 18, who died from carbon monoxide poisoning at holiday cottage say portable gas heaters should be banned

from Daily SumUp

The parents of a university student who died after he inhaled a 'fatal quantity' of carbon monoxide while staying in a remote aristocrat-owned holiday cottage have called for 'dangerous' portable gas heaters to be banned.Tom Hill, 18, was preparing to take a bath when he succumbed to the highly poisonous gas leaking out of the 'lethal' device at an 'idyllic' rental home in the Scottish highlands.An inquest which took place this week, some 10 years after his tragic passing, heard the bathroom where the cabinet heater was kept was 'simply too small' - but the warning informing users of this was not obvious.
