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 Call the National Grid helpline on 0800 111 999 for a boiler check.
