studies and evacuations

The police have initiated an investigation into the exact cause of death. The affected room was blocked for studies, while the entire hostel was evacuated and sealed as a precaution in order to prevent the risk of further poisoning. An autopsy should clarify whether the chemical was actually the cause of death. In the meantime, the members of the deceased British have launched a fundraising campaign to make their family members travel to Sri Lanka and enable the body to be overlooked. "We have to be with her and bring her home safely," said the family.

In the background there is also the shocking incident that several tourists recently died in a hostel in Laos. These tragic events throw a dark light on hostel tourism in the region and illustrate the risks that holidaymakers take in supposedly safe accommodations, as Hostelworld. There are a variety of hostels with different offers in the lively Colombo, but the security standards urgently need to be checked in order to prevent such accidents in the future.
