A tragic incident has been reported concerning the death of a British social media influencer and a German tourist, where it is said the two died in a Colombo-based hostel in Sri Lanka. The unfortunate demise occurred while the British influencer, Eboney McIntosh, was on vacation. News of her death is gaining traction on social media.
Eboney, who was a travel and fashion influencer, died under mysterious conditions at the Miracle Colombo City Hostel in Sri Lanka. A German lady, who lived in the same room, has also been reportedly experiencing similar symptoms and died hours later. It is said that both deaths resulted from poisoning through insecticides sprayed in the hostel. Both died with symptoms indicative of a potential poisoning.
The authorities in Sri Lanka have launched an investigation into the incident, and the hostel has been temporarily shut down while they probe further. It has been reported that powerful insecticides were found in the room where the two victims were staying. While the exact type of insecticide used is still under investigation, the initial signs point to a serious health hazard from chemicals commonly used to deal with pests like bedbugs.
The identity of the German lady has not yet been published to the public; however, eyewitness accounts reveal that she was lodged in the same room as Eboney. Family members of deceased Eboney McIntosh have accepted her death after being informed through reports while still on holiday in Sri Lanka and are arranging a return journey for her body back to the UK. To organize this process, Eboney's family has already set up a crowdfunding page for assistance.
The authorities in Sri Lanka are waiting for the post-mortem results to declare the official cause of death for both. The incident has raised concerns about safety and health hazards in hostels catering to tourists in Sri Lanka.
This tragic event has sent shockwaves through the travel community, with many expressing their condolences and concern for the families of the deceased.
