THE daughter of a British couple who died on holiday in Egypt told a TV show she cannot move on until she finds answers regarding their deaths.

Forty-year-old Kelly Ormerod, from Burnley, spoke to hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield on This Morning about her struggle for the truth about the cause of the deaths after the Egyptian authorities ruled it was E.coli.

She said: “I am determined to find out what really happened. They had no idea, they thought it was food poisoning, but nobody has seen any of these results.”

A post mortem examination carried out in the UK reported the cause of deaths to be unclear, and Ms Ormerod is desperate to find out.

John and Susan Cooper died on August 21, with Mr Cooper dying in his hotel room at the Steigenberger Aqua Magic Hotel in the Red Sea resort of Hurghada. Mrs Cooper died later in hospital.

A specialist on E.coli appeared on the show to speak about the probability of the couple’s deaths being linked to it.

Professor Hugh Pennington said: “It would be unprecedented for even the nastiest E.colis that we know about to act that rapidly with those sort of consequences.”

Ms Ormerod also spoke about the way in which she was treated at the hotel in Egypt.

She said: “They asked me if I accused anyone of my father’s death, and at first I said no. They asked me again when my mum died, and this time I changed my answer to yes, because someone was responsible.

“They lost all compassion after this.”

Senior coroner James Adeley has requested documents from travel agents Thomas Cook and the Egyptian authorities regarding all the tests they ran.

Ms Ormerod was warned this could take years. “I cannot wait that long, I cannot move on until I find out what really happened.”
