The Roll Call

Here's a short list of CO deaths, culled from the BBC News website.
They happen; they are not rarities, and they can always be prevented, sometimes by timely medical intervention.

The case of Chrisitanne and Robert Shepherd, killed by a water heater at the Corcyra palace Hotel in Corfu.
On Monday October 15th 2007, a memorial garden was opened at Horbury Primary school.


Alex Mitchell aged 14. Florence Holeman and her daughter Marion Stillwell (just around the time of the Corfu tragedy, but got less press coverage.)
Three pensioners die in the same house in Lincolnshire. Inquest verdict on Angela Pinkney, who died in March 2005 despite having called British Gas engineers out 10 times to look at her boiler.
Thomas McCauley and both his great-grandparents died in South Wales in October 2005. Katie Overton, March 2003. Ten year old Dominic Rodgers died in Huddersfield.
The case of Thomas and Doris Sykes, from Wakefield.
Two men died in Malaga in Spain after turning on a faulty gas heater.
Another man dies at a flat in Cleethorpes, in January 2006. That same month, a man and woman die at a house in North Wales. In November 2005 an eldely couple die at a house in Swansea. Back in 2001, David Beak died when poisoned by funes from a petrol heater.
Martin Towey aged 83 and his dog both died in Staffordshire. A rare suicide using CO as the method.
Tom & Hannah Evans, an elderly couple, died in Wales in January 2005. They used solid fuel burner to keep warm. Another Welsh fatality, this time thought to be caused by work that had been carried out on a chimney. In 2004, Keith Turnbull died from CO poisoning while cooking marmalade on a faulty gas stove.
December 2004 - the death of an Oxfordshire man used as a 'warning in new safety campagin.' Again.
March 2003, two students, Michael Frosdick and Ketith Reynolds, die in landlord-rented accomodation. Two men are subsequently convicted of manslaughter.
