James Wood, managing director of Primelife, said: “Whilst it would be wholly inappropriate to comment further on this matter I would like to place on record our sincere condolences to all of those affected by this as yet, unexplained death, and would like to place on record our sincere thanks to all of the first responders who attended the site to support our staff and clients.

“The ongoing safety and care of our clients is our utmost priority and we have taken all relevant steps to ensure this has continued throughout this difficult time, and would like to thank all of our dedicated staff who should be commended for the care and support they have offered to all involved with the home over the last few days.”
