Brit dies after suspected food poisoning at Lake Garda hotel
One British holidaymaker has died and a further 30 others are ill in Lake Garda after suffering from suspected food poisoning.
Geoffrey Appleyard, 71, died just hours after eating dinner at the Grand Hotel at Gardone Riviera. A post mortem is being held and no firm links have yet been made between what Mr Appleyard ate and his death.
However, health officials who are inspecting the hotels kitchens believe salmonella could be the cause of the death and illnesses.
Those taken ill were part of a 300-strong tour group visiting the hotel.
Of the 30 others taken ill, some 16 were recovering in hospitals around Brescia last night.
The hotel and its kitchen remains open pending results from the local health authorities on samples taken, owner Franco Mizzaro said.
