Death is lurking in your hotel room
An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:
Banned pesticide likely killed Canadian sisters in Thai hotel: Coroner  RIVIERE-DU-LOUP, Que. - A banned pesticide that kills everything it touches likely caused the deaths of two Canadian sisters in a Thai hotel room, a coroner ruled Monday. Audrey Belanger, 20, and Noemie Belanger, 26, had been staying on the island of Koh Phi Phi in June 2012 when cleaning staff found their bodies in bed, surrounded in vomit. A doctor in Thailand said the common pesticide DEET likely killed the women, but Quebec coroner Renee Roussel disagrees. She said DEET levels in the decomposing bodies were at the level of a bug-spray application. Roussel suspects a highly toxic substance called phosphine is to blame. "According to toxicologists, few substances have the ability to kill quickly leaving virtually no trace in the environment or in the body," the coroner said. "Phosphine is part of that small group. Inexpensive, highly efficient and, apparently, widely available in Asia, phosphine is a pesticide that kills all life, anything that breathes." The coroner said the hotel likely used phosphine even though it's banned in Thailand. The report says 20 western tourists have died under similar circumstances in Asian hotels since 2009, including two on the same Phi Phi archipelago where the Belanger sisters died. The coroner warns tourists that pesticides in hotel rooms could be deadly. The sisters were from Pohenegamook, Que., 450 km northeast of Montreal on the Maine border. Their family says it might sue the Thai government. Meanwhile, their father says the Asian country can learn from Monday's report. "The message to the Thai is maybe to change their procedures when there's a suspicious death," Carl Belanger told QMI Agency. "Close the hotel, investigate as long as there's no answer." He also wonders how his daughters rented a room on June 12 but their bodies weren't found until June 15. "The girls only paid for the room for one night," he said. "And to only open the door on the third day after that? Hmmm. There are still unanswered questions." Two children died last week in Fort McMurray,Alta., after being exposed to phosphine.
