anything is possible..but more than likely if a maid wanted to clean a room and got no reply ...may have thought she was out...

You were correct, Davel. So the scene had already been viewed by a someone, before the police.

A Leicestershire Police spokeswoman said on Sunday: “Police were called at 1.42pm on Saturday to reports of a body of a woman in a hotel room in Smith Way, Grove Park. Officers have attended the scene and a file is being prepared for the coroner. Identification of the deceased is a matter for the coroner. The death is not being treated as suspicious.”

A member of staff confides in a partner...a policeman tells his wife...the story would soon get round

You're probably correct there, davel. I am not convinced of the Helium story, though.

Asphyxiation

The list below encompasses how it can occur:

Strangulation;

Blocked Air-ways;

Blockage of the  mouth and nose.

spot on...Many of us have experienced the hypercapnic alarm response when having gas to have a tooth extracted as children...as I pointed out last night this is because the anaesthetist turns down  the oxygen level to speed the induction of anaesthesia up...it is most unpleasant as many will remember. Helium does not cause this unpleasant response and asphyxiation is quick and not unpleasant...

I've had dental work as a child in the States and I was never given gas, only novacaine shots. In France and Portugal, I have always been given local novacaine injections. So, I find it surprising that in the UK dentists use gas.

This came up in the discussion about the helium suicide rumour of BL. No, Montclair, gas isn't used by dentists anymore, except in rare circumstances.

Not for quite a long time.

Thanks for the info.

Is this report wrong then?

[Mr Gray]

not sure why the discussion re nitrous oxide...It seems Brenda used helium to commit suicide

[Anna]

Sorry Anna I did not see your post. The newspaper article is wrong. According to the Star Brenda used Helium to commit suicide...a very neat and painless method. Nitrous oxide used in the same way would be quite unpleasant

Thank you Davel,
I thought that might be the case, as they showed a photo of people with balloons and then said that it was, nitrous oxide, used to fill balloons. So Helium it was.

I think the confusion is that these partygoers fill ballons with nitrous oxide in order to inhale it...hence the confusion with helium
