A mother from Cardiff has become the fourth member of her family to die after a gas poisoning in Bangladesh. Hosne Ara Islam, 46, died at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University hospital, also known as PG hospital, on October 18.
She was found unconscious after an incident at a flat in the region of Sylhet in the north east of Bangladesh in July this year alongside four other family members. Father and husband Rafiqul and her son Mahiqul Islam died immediately and her daughter Samira Islam died a month later.
Police in Bangladesh and a spokesman for the Cardiff Bangladeshi Society confirmed the death and said that while Hosne had initially been released from hospital she had not recovered well after the incident and was re-admitted before her death. She is survived by her son Sadikul Islam, who is in his 20s.
