A SECOND tourist who died suddenly at a Sri Lankan hostel alongside a Brit travel influencer has been named as cops probe whether toxic fumigation chemicals played a role in the tragedy. German national Nadine Raguse, 26, and 24-year-old Ebony McIntosh, from Derby, were both staying at the Miracle Colombo City Hostel when they fell critically ill. The women reportedly suffered from severe vomiting, nausea, and breathing difficulties before being rushed to hospital, where they were later pronounced dead.

Sri Lanka Police spokesman Buddhika Manatunga confirmed that a room in the hostel had been fumigated for bed bugs just days before the women’s deaths, and officers are now investigating the possibility that they were poisoned by noxious pesticides.
