A family was killed when a crisp packet blocked a chimney and deadly fumes filled their lounge, an inquest has heard.
Trevor Wallwork, 50, and his children Kimberley, 12, and Harry, nine, were watching TV when an empty crisp packet was thrown on to the coal fire.
It rose up ‘like a hot air balloon’ and then blocked the chimney, which prevented fumes from the coal fire from escaping.
Lethal gases seeped back into the living room and the family was slowly overcome by carbon monoxide as they watched television.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
