A hotel guest has spoken of his shock at finding police investigating two deaths at the DoubleTree by Hilton Harrogate Majestic Hotel last night.
The guest arrived at the hotel at about 10pm to find police cars and ambulances outside, with officers and first aiders walking around inside.
The man, who requested anonymity, told the Stray Ferret:
“There were police and ambulance all over the car park. I would say around four police cars and a couple of ambulances. Plenty of officers and first aiders were milling around the hotel as well.
“I overheard some conversations between the police that led me to think that at least one person had died here but I have no idea of the circumstances and still don’t.
“They were here from 10pm to 1am. It’s not what anyone expects, it was a bit of a shock.”
