Two British holidaymakers have died from Legionnaires’ disease after returning home from the same hotel in Bulgaria, it has emerged.
Brian Taylor, 75, from Huddersfield, died in July, a month after holidaying at the Hotel Kalofer.
It follows the death of John Cowan 43, from Lanarkshire, who had also been staying at the same hotel in June.
Their holiday firm Jet2 said two sets of independent tests had found no evidence of contamination at the hotel.
Both families are threatening civil legal action against the flight and holiday operator.
Mr Taylor’s stepson Martin Farrell said: “We are absolutely devastated and heartbroken. No-one expects to go on holiday and catch this disease.”
