London : Two people died in the western English city of Tewkesbury as they tried to pump floodwater out of a rugby club, fire services personnel reported Thursday.
The two died after they were apparently overcome by fumes produced by the petrol-powered pump.
Further details were not yet known.
Tewkesbury has been beset with severe flooding over several days, leaving as many as 10,000 people without access to fresh water.
