Unexplained
The deaths are being treated by the police as 'unexplained' with no suspicious circumstances, a coroners' court was told, but it is believed that the two were overcome by carbon monoxide fumes as they slept.
It was told that it was most likely the fumes came from either a gas heater or cooking equipment, with the government's Marine Accident Investigation Branch undertaking an investigation into the deaths.
