So awful. His family must have thought they'd escaped the worst and then this happens. Nightmarish and cruel.

I'm not surprised she was asleep, she must have been exhausted.

What hotel was it?
Cause I've never managed to get an upstairs window open for a fag in London hotels.? As tragic as this is, its merely sensationalism bu the media.. Kids have died in the UK everyday and never made the news. So I'm starting to think about the hotels, and the homeless who will have been in those rooms at the start of lockdown...suddenly turned out, back to their normality. Maybe needs a different thread, but unfortunately that's where my heads at. |

Its the OYO Metropolitan Hotel in Sheffield. 9 floors high. SkyNewsHD had a reporter there she found out, some windows were broken. And also the Hotel has sent a Maintenance Staff round to fit window locks that only allow the window to open a bit. |
