MALLORCA TODAY - Hotel in Arenal evacuated because of gas leak

Some 500 guests have been evacuated today because of a leak of carbon monoxide at the hotel Tropical Park in Arenal. One 15-year-old girl has been taken to hospital. This is the third gas leak incident at the same hotel. Two weeks ago, a Russian tourist died and a French tourist was taken to hospital in a critical condition. The hotel was not identified in reports when these previous incidents occurred. Now it has been identified.

My daughter was in that period in the hotel accross and told me that there were 3 girls found dead already for 3 days, due to a gas leak... which is true?

Absolutely not true. The one fatality was that of the Russian tourist three weeks before the latest incident. The girl who was taken to hospital as a result of this latest incident was, according to the hotel, not suffering from inhalation but a migraine. The hotel is now being inspected. But categorically, that story of three dead is completely untrue.
