Liverpool City Council is commencing legal action against Britannia Hotels in connection with the tragic death of Chloe Haynes, aged 21, at the Adelphi Hotel in September 2022. Chloe was discovered deceased in her hotel room, prompting an investigation by the council. While three individuals were initially apprehended on suspicion of foul play, they were subsequently released as authorities determined Chloe’s demise to be accidental.
