News of Danish deaths in Hurghada, cause unclear

Two Danish tourists reportedly dead in Hurghada, cause unclear: Danish paper CPH Post Online reported that that two Danish men died under unclear circumstances while on holiday in Hurghada around New Year’s. Verner Strunck and Leif Kristensen, both apparently healthy men in their sixties, died two days apart at their hotel in what family members have speculated may have been due to bacteria from the air conditioning systems in their rooms. The case has echoes of another case that saw a British couple die after apparently having contracted Legionnaire’s disease through an air conditioning system.
