Holly Bowles’ father confirmed her passing on Friday. The backpacker hostel manager is assisting police in the capital Vientiane.
The father of Australian Holly Bowles has confirmed his daughter has passed away in a Bangkok hospital, the second Australian victim of a suspect mass methanol poisoning in Laos.
Police questioned the venue’s manager in the capital Vientiane on Friday, as the last of Nana Backpacker Hostel’s guests in Van Vieng were checking out. Nana was a common denominator in the unfolding tragedy that killed Bianca Jones along with at least four other travellers, they said before Bowles death was confirmed. The death toll now includes Bowles, Jones, two young Danish women, an American man and 28-year-old British woman Simone White.Nana Backpacker stopped taking guests on Thursday on the orders of police.
Many people drinking at Nana never became sick. On the other hand, everyone who did get sick was staying there, according to the nearby hotels’ managers. This masthead has been unable to verify that claim. The worker decided the fastest action was to take them himself on a moped. The women said nothing on the drive, he said, and the last he saw of them was at the hospital.
