THREE people have been found dead and four people have been taken to hospital after an incident at a Dorset care home, police said.

- 

Emergency services were at the scene yesterday at Gainsborough Care Home, on Ulwell Road, in Swanage, with remaining residents having been evacuated to a safe location.

Dorset Police said the deaths are being treated as unexplained, with an investigation launched, but Gary Suttle, a Dorset Council councillor, told the Press Association there is a "suspicion" that "this could be attributable to carbon monoxide, but it has not been proven".

The police force added: "The families of those who have died have been informed and the coroner has been notified.
