Two tourists, Ebony McIntosh from England and Nadine Raguse from Germany, tragically died in Sri Lanka following a fumigation for bedbugs at the Miracle Colombo City hostel. After reported illness post-treatment, McIntosh was hospitalized, prompting an investigation into possible pesticide poisoning. The hostel has closed pending further inquiries. The UK's Foreign Office is involved, supporting McIntosh’s family, who are in distress and seeking funds via a GoFundMe page to travel to Sri Lanka. Sri Lankan authorities will conduct an autopsy to establish the cause of death once the family arrives.
We are absolutely heartbroken to share that our beautiful baby girl and big sister Ebony has passed away unexpectedly on the Saturday 1st February 2025, thousands of miles away from home.
Sri Lanka Police spokesman Buddhika Manatunga stated that an autopsy to determine the cause of McIntosh's death will take place after her family arrives in Sri Lanka.
