🚨A man and woman who were found dead inside a parked campervan at a national park were today identified as a married couple with four children.

Chris and Kayleigh Coll, 45 and 38, were today named as the couple who were found dead in 'unexpected' circumstances in the New Forest.

Friends and relatives of the 'beloved' couple have shared tributes to Mr and Mrs Coll and described their death as a 'sudden and tragic accident'.

Hampshire Constabulary said the parents, from Blandford Forum in Dorset, were found dead inside the camper by the village of Burley in the New Forest National Park, Hampshire, on Sunday.

Mr and Mrs Coll had attended the New Forest Cider Festival last weekend, where they set up a stall for their business Mystacoll's Spirit.

Organisers of the festival have since said they were 'deeply saddened' to learn of the 'tragic deaths' of the pair.

Tributes have poured in on social media for the couple.

Mr Coll's sister, beautician Kelly-ann Simonsohn, posted on Facebook yesterday: 'As some of you know, over the weekend we lost my brother and my sister in law in a tragic and heartbreaking accident.'

Ms Simonsohn added that it is an 'absolutely heartbreaking time'.

Jack P O'Donoghue posted on Facebook: 'It's with a heavy heart that we share the heartbreaking news of the sudden and tragic accident that took the lives of our beloved Chris and Kayleigh over the weekend.

'Our main priority right now is the wellbeing of the children, and we ask that you give us time and space to grieve and focus on them.

'Your love, kindness and understanding mean the world to us during this incredibly difficult time.'

Friend Char Armitage wrote: 'Two lives gone and I honestly don't even know what to say. My heart breaks for everyone - especially the children...

'Chris and Kayleigh fly high together. Taken far too soon, and in the cruellest way. There's a tiny bit of comfort in knowing you were together, not by choice, but maybe by fate. Rest peacefully, side by side, where you both belong.'

Friend Kayleigh Jones posted on her profile: 'Kayleigh and Chris; You guys were what love looked like. You'd both been through so much and found each other at the perfect time. Everyone could see that at your beautiful wedding...

On October 10, Mr Coll posted that the couple were excited to set up their marquee at the popular cider festival.

A spokesperson for New Forest Cider, the organisers of the event, said: 'We were deeply saddened to learn of the tragic deaths of two individuals who attended the New Forest Cider Festival this weekend.

'Our thoughts and condolences are with their family and friends at this very difficult time.

'The incident occurred in a private vehicle on Saturday night and was not connected to the event itself.

'The police have confirmed there are no suspicious circumstances, and we are cooperating fully with their enquiries.'

A spokesperson for Hampshire Constabulary said: 'Shortly after midday on Sunday 12 October, our South Central Ambulance Service partners made us aware of the unexpected death of two people inside a parked campervan on Pound Lane, Burley.

'Officers attended the scene. A 38-year-old woman and 45-year-old, both from Blandford Forum, had been pronounced dead at the scene.

'Their next of kin have been notified and a file will be prepared for the coroner.'

Hampshire Coroner's Court staff have said an inquest opening date for the couple has not yet been set.
