The Thomas Cook CEO has admitted the company failed in its handling of the tragedy that saw two young children killed by carbon monoxide poisoning in Corfu and pledged to help their parents move on with their lives.

Thomas Cook has nothing to apologise for over the deaths of two children from carbon monoxide poisoning while on holiday in Greece, the travel firm’s current boss has told an inquest.

The British family at the centre of a suspected poisoning tragedy complained of feeling woozy the morning before the two children died, it has been reported.

A 16-year-old boy has died after the car he was travelling in plunged into a lagoon, British police said today.
