A man who's wife died from accidental carbon monoxide poisoning has set up a charity in her name to raise awareness of gas leaks.
Richard Haines has set up the Katie Haines Memorial Trust charity, having amassed £50k of charitable donations since his wife's death in February 2010.

Katie Haines drowned in the bath after breathing in carbon monoxide from a leaking boiler that a gas engineer had certified as 'at risk' a few months prior but it had not been fixed, despite his concerns about ventilation. The couple had bought a carbon monoxide alarm but had not installed it.

The trust intends to promote awareness of the dangers of carbon monoxide to vulnerable groups such as students, holidaymakers and the elderly.

Mr Haines said the charity will be a 'legacy' for his wife.
