Family pay tribute to 'kind, devoted' Dorset couple who died in campervan in New Forest
Christopher Coll, 45, and Kayleigh Coll, 38 died in a campervan while attending a cider festival in the New Forest
The family of a couple who died in a campervan while attending a cider festival in the New Forest have paid tribute to the "vibrant, kind and devoted" pair.
Paramedics and police were called to the vehicle parked in Pound Lane, Burley, in the New Forest on October 12 where the two bodies were found.
Hampshire Constabulary has confirmed the identities of the deceased as Christopher Coll, 45, and Kayleigh Coll, 38, from Blandford Forum, Dorset.
A force spokesman said the deaths were being treated as "unexplained but not suspicious" and a file was being prepared for the coroner.
A spokeswoman for New Forest Cider said that the couple had attended its craft cider festival held during the weekend.
Mr Coll, who ran Mystacoll's Spirit which sold handcrafted copper art, crystals, clothing and jewellery, had posted on Facebook ahead of the cider festival: "Huge excitement for us as we set up our marquee today ready for the @newforestciderfestival in Burley this weekend!!!"
The family of the couple, who had four children, said in a statement released through police: "It is with deep sadness that we confirm the tragic deaths of Chris and Kayleigh Coll, who passed away while attending a local festival.
"Chris and Kayleigh were much-loved by everyone who knew them - vibrant, kind, and devoted to their family.
"Their loss has left an immeasurable void in the lives of all who loved them.
"Our priority now is to protect and support their children and allow our families the privacy and time we need to grieve.
"We kindly ask that the public and press respect our privacy and refrain from speculation or intrusive reporting during this deeply painful time.
"The families are cooperating fully with the authorities as they complete their investigations.
"For those who have reached out wishing to help: if you would like to contribute towards funeral arrangements, family support, and the children's future, please use the link below. Your kindness and generosity are deeply appreciated."
A gofundme page, which states that the couple were involved in a "tragic heartbreaking accident", has by Tuesday raised more than £23,000 of the £26,000 target.
