Steve Ellis, a 42-year-old British tourist, experienced a near-fatal electric shock from a bedside lamp at the Coral Sea Imperial Sensatori hotel in Egypt. The shock lasted approximately 15 seconds, primarily affecting his mouth due to dental fillings. Despite being injured, Ellis felt fortunate to have escaped more severe harm, warning that the incident could have been fatal for a child. Following the incident, he attempted to report it but faced reluctance from hotel staff, who suggested falsifying information for documentation purposes. This raises significant concerns about hotel safety standards and accountability.
I've got fillings in my mouth so the electric was going up there - it burnt my mouth. If I wasn't able to get myself off the lamp, then I would have burnt alive.
We said we wanted to make a report and he questioned it. He turned to my partner and wanted her to lie and say that she saw the incident, when she didn't.
