A coroner’s investigation is underway after a husband and wife die from fumes linked to a gas heater used inside their camper van. Kayleigh and Christopher Coll were found dead in their camper van, where they had been using a parabolic gas heater. According to reporting summarized from an inquest, the couple switched on the heater before going to bed during cold October weather at the time of the incident. The inquest hears that the fumes released by the heater led to carbon monoxide poisoning, with the deaths attributed to the unsafe use of the device indoors. The heater’s suitability for use inside a vehicle is questioned in coverage of the proceedings. The investigation will examine the circumstances surrounding the heater, the conditions in the camper van, and what caused carbon monoxide to build up to a level sufficient to cause death. No further details beyond the inquest evidence and the initial findings are provided in the available reports.
