Tributes pour in for Elouise
Tributes have been flooding in for Elouise Littlewood who died of suspected carbon monoxide poisoning at a Bedfont flat last week
Police were called to a new block of flats at Wooldridge Close at 10.20 pm last Wednesday and found the body of 26-year-old Elouise.
She was pronounced dead at the scene.
Simon Kilby, a 32-year-old man who was lodging at the address was found collapsed in the lounge. He was taken to hospital where he remains seriously ill.
Alan and Sally-Anne Littlewood, Elouise's parents and her brother Matthew have created a page on a memorial website, Gone Too Soon.
The family said: "Elouise was bright, beautiful and full of life. Words cannot express what she meant to us all. She was our life and life will never quite be the same without her."
Laura Houghton, a friend from Sunbury, wrote: "You were such a bubbly person El and did not deserve to be taken away from us. You will be sadly missed by so many people."
Residents who were evacuated from neighbouring flats in the block were moved to hotels near Heathrow or stayed with family and friends.
Safety checks were carried out by the London Fire Brigade and the gas supply to 160 premises on the estate was switched off. More than half of residents have now returned to their homes.
Notting Hill Housing Association, which manages the flats in Wooldridge Close, said: "Notting Hill Housing is continuing to do everything that we possibly can to ensure safety at this development.
"As well as doing comprehensive safety checks, for reassurance and peace of mind Notting Hill is issuing all residents with carbon monoxide detectors."
A post mortem examination at Fulham Mortuary last Thursday showed Elouise is likely to have died as a result of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Toxicology tests are continuing to determine the cause of death.
Police are treating the tragedy as an unexplained death. Detective Chief Inspector Jessica Wadsworth of the Homicide and Serious Crime Command is leading the investigation. A seperate investigation has been launched by the health and safety executive

Deepest Sympathies to Elouise's family and friends. I did not have the pleasure of meeting her, but my flat was on the same floor and very close to hers. The main question I have and want answered is, in a new build, why wasn't this fault picked up by the surveyors before we were allowed to move in?! Also I agree with the post above, that we have received very little communication from Notting Hill. There's not enough room available here to explain my anger at this tragic situation, and unnecessary loss of life. My heart goes out to you.

Notting Hill have sent emails and letters on a daily basis, but I was told by a notting hill representative "not to beleieve the letters" and to talk to the contractors directly, as the letters were "just a requirement". I think that says it all about the kind of corporation they are running! This whole thing is disgusting and the sooner someone is held accountable, the sooner poor Elouise's family can start to move on. [italic]Our thoughts are with you all.[/italic]

I am sorry to read that a life as been lost yet again to carbon monoxide.
It is despicable in this day and age, with the technology of today to lose life. We have campaigned about CO and its affects with Lynn Griffiths and her Carbon monoxide awareness campaign team, and told people what we have to combat the problem, Qtronics have a system on detection of carbon monoxide it closes down the supply, preventing any more build up of carbon monoxide and displays the ppm on the display window on the front of the detector and sounds an alarm. If we can save one person of carbon monoxide poisoning we have done our job, but if we can save all people from the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning what a beautiful day.
Tell your council and MP about Qtronics.
