The trio was staying at the Miracle Colombo City Hostel on R.A. De Mel Mawatha in Kollupitiya when they reportedly became unwell and were rushed to the hospital.

The Brit woman was pronounced dead, while the German couple remain hospitalised.

The Fort Magistrate’s Court has since ordered the hostel to shut down pending a full investigation.

The closure will remain in place until the Government Analyst’s Department determines whether the premises are safe to operate, police said.

Authorities, including cops, public health inspectors, and judicial medical officers, are now probing the circumstances surrounding the incident.

A post-mortem examination will be conducted once the victim’s relatives arrive to formally identify her remains.
