1  CORONER 

I am Jason PEGG, Area Coroner for the coroner area of Hampshire, Portsmouth and 
Southampton 

2  CORONER’S LEGAL POWERS

and regulations 28 and 29 of the Coroners (Investigations) Regulations 2013.

INVESTIGATION 

On 17 February 2023 I commenced an investigation into the death of Peter John CAMP 
aged 76.  The investigation has not yet concluded and the inquest has not been heard. 

4  CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE DEATH 

Police officers attended the address of 2, The Haven, Gosport, Hampshire, PO12 2BD 
following a concern for welfare raised by the deceased’s friend. The deceased had 
complained of feeling unwell the previous morning. Police entered the property and noted 
the heating in the property was on. They found the deceased (Peter John CAMP) in his 
bedroom. There were no signs of forced entry, and the death was reported to the coroner 
as a non-suspicious category 3 death. 

5  CORONER’S CONCERNS 

During the course of the investigation my inquiries revealed matters giving rise to concern. 
In my opinion there is a risk that future deaths could occur unless action is taken.  In the 
circumstances it is my statutory duty to report to you. 

The MATTERS OF CONCERN are as follows: 

The deceased has been found at post-mortem examination to have elevated levels of blood 
carboxyhaemoglobin (COHb). 

This elevated level is indicative of carbon monoxide toxicity. The deceased was exposed to 
carbon monoxide at 2, The Haven, Gosport, Hampshire. Carbon monoxide toxicity can lead 
to death. There is a continuing risk to life caused by the present circumstances at 2, The 
Haven, Gosport, Hampshire. The source of the carbon monoxide has not yet been 
ascertained but is likely to be associated with faulty heating/cooking apparatus or 
ventilation. 

6  ACTION SHOULD BE TAKEN 

In my opinion action should be taken to prevent future deaths and I believe you (and/or 
your organisation) have the power to take such action.
