Guest Passed Away

From the moment they step through the door your bookings become guests, and their experiences determine whether they ever come back.

Guest Passed Away

Post by apexblue »

Always thought this would happen at some point. Guest passed away last night in one cottage we are booking agents for. Owner says a lot of damage. Bed broken, hole in wall and radiator gushing water. Don't know what happened but there were 2 ambulances and 2 police cars attending. Have left message and sending flowers.

Oh my! What a situation for you to deal with. Poor owners too - hopefully they can claim on insurance, unless a crime was commited.

Awful, apexblue :cry:. The kind of situation we all dread, I'm sure. The damage implies - well, I don't know quite what - not a peaceful passing away in sleep, for sure. Nightmare for the owners too - presumably close by?

Oh no, I'm so sorry. It doesn't sound like a death from normal causes either judging by the damage. I hope the insurance covers everything but it is an awful thing to happen in somebody else's home.

Sorry to hear about this, quite distressing for everyone involved I imagine.

How awful for everyone, Apexblue. Sounds pretty violent...

Crumbs, am surprised he managed to make upstairs. Not surprised the bed collapsed. Hope the owner is able to make a claim somewhere for the damage sustained......
