The death of two Brit tourists at a Hurghada hotel is still topping coverage of Egypt in the foreign press this morning.<\/strong> The daughter of John and Susan Cooper, the couple who died last week while on holiday at the Steigenberger Aqua Magic Hotel, spoke to the BBC about the ordeal<\/a> explaining that there was \u201ca funny smell\u201d in her parent\u2019s hotel room which she claims is the cause of their death, suggesting that a gas leak might have been responsible. Egyptian investigators had ruled that out<\/a>, however, and are currently testing food, water, and air conditioning systems at the hotel. The results should be released in 10 days\u2019 time, Thomas Cook Group CEO Peter Fankhauser said, according to the Associated Press<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Around 13 holidaymakers had complained to Thomas Cook \u201cabout being served raw meat and drinks from unwashed glasses\u201d at the same hotel, <\/strong>prior to the couple\u2019s death, according to the Guardian<\/a>. The incident had prompted Thomas Cook to evacuate just over 300 customers from the hotel.<\/p>\n
