Three people found dead and four taken to hospital in care home incident

Three people have been found dead and four people have been taken to hospital after an incident at a Dorset care home, police said.

Emergency services are at the scene at the Gainsborough Care Home in Ulwell Road in Swanage, with the remaining residents having been evacuated to a safe location.

Dorset Police said the deaths are being treated as unexplained, with an investigation launched, but Gary Suttle, from Dorset Council, told the PA news agency there is a “suspicion” that “this could be attributable to carbon monoxide but it has not been proven”.
