A Cameron House night manager was left “horrified” after watching a porter use a plastic bag to clear out a fireplace – days before the practice caused a fatal blaze which killed two guests.
Ann Rundell yesterday told an inquiry she challenged the staff member, asking ‘what the f*** do you think you’re doing?’
The 61-year-old was giving evidence in the second week of a Fatal Accident Inquiry at Paisley Sheriff Court into the deaths of Richard Dyson, 38, and his partner Simon Midgley, 32, who died following the fire at the five-star Loch Lomond hotel in December 2017. It started after Renton night porter Christopher O’Malley emptied ash and embers from a log fire into a polythene bag, and then put it in a cupboard of kindling and newspapers.
