Burley campervan couple died from carbon monoxide poisoning

The initial cause of death for a couple found dead in a campervan following a cider festival in the New Forest has been given as carbon monoxide toxicity, a coroner has said.

Kayleigh, 38, and Christopher Coll, 45, were found in the van on Pound Lane, Burley, in October.

The couple, who lived in Blandford Forum, Dorset, were described in a tribute as “much-loved by everyone who knew them – vibrant, kind, and devoted to their family”.

Monday’s hearing in Winchester was adjourned with a full inquest provisionally set for 22 July.

Police were called to the site after paramedics alerted officers to the “sudden death” of two people in a vehicle shortly after 12:00 BST on 12 October.

Following the deaths, festival organisers New Forest Cider, said: “Their warmth and passion shone through and their loss has been felt deeply by everyone who met them.

“Our hearts go out to their young family, friends and wider family circle.”

A crowdfunding page to help support the family has to date raised more than £30,000.
