Private prayers held to remember Swanage care home deaths
People gathered at All Saints Church, which looked after the home's residents in the immediate aftermath
A church in Swanage has been thanked for opening its doors to people living in a care home where three people were found dead.
Police are continuing to investigate a suspected carbon monoxide poisoning at the Gainsborough Care Home on Wednesday.
Two men and a woman died, whilst seven other people were taken to hospital.
A 60-year-old woman arrested on suspicion of manslaughter has been released under investigation.
The care home's other residents continue to be in accommodation, some as far away as parts of West Sussex.
Private prayers were held at All Saints Church, where residents were initially looked after before being moved to alternative accommodation, on Sunday.
Speaking to Greatest Hits Radio, Reverend Jo Levasier, who led the service said the church tried to look after the home's residents "as best as they could".
"A lot of residents suffer from dementia so they are more confused than normal."
Rev Levasier added that the "community stepped up", with other churches and local schools helping supply food to those moved out.
Lychett Minster and Upton Town Councillor Steve Robinson was among those attending the service.
Writing on Facebook, he thanked the church for their help during a "sad and testing" week.
Another reflection service is being held at St Mark's Church, Swanage, on Sunday 3 November.
