by · Metro

A woman arrested on suspicion of manslaughter after three elderly care home residents died in Swanage has been released without charge.

The 60-year-old, who has not been named, was previously released under investigation.

Now a decision has been made not to charge her in connection with the deaths – of two men, aged 74 and 91, and an 86-year-old woman on October 23.

Their deaths are still being treated as unexplained, according to police who previously said their ‘primary line of enquiry’ was carbon monoxide poisoning.

Seven other people were taken to hospital from Gainsborough Care Home ‘as a precaution’.
