Family killed by a crisp packet: Father and two young children choked to
death after bag got stuck in chimney and sent deadly fumes into their lounge

• Trevor Wallwork and his two children died while watching TV in their home
• An empty crisp packet blew up 'like a hot air balloon' inside chimney flue
• Blockage stopped fumes from escaping and sent deadly gases into room
• Mr Wallwork's wife Susan lost her battle with cancer six months later
• Coroner describes the tragedy as a 'sad and extreme' chain of events

The story with pictures, at the Daily Mail link.
 
Very sad. What is a "crisp packet"? A chip bag, cracker bag? Thanks
