A LUXURY hotel in Dubai where a Wiltshire broadcaster stayed has been ruled out as being the source of Legionnaires' disease.
Three guests at the hotel became ill with the disease including cricket statitician Bill Frindall, 69, from Urchfont, near Devizes, who died on Friday after returning to England.
Hussein Nasser Lootah, said 24 water samples from the hotel complex - the Westin Dubai Mina Seyahi Beach Resort & Marina Westin - proved "beyond doubt" that none of the guests contracted the disease in Dubai.
Mr Lootah did not explain how the tests were conclusive.
