And then when waking up further and seeing that it wasnt confirmed said so in a follow up post.
I didn't double down, didn't throw my toys out a cot stamping my feet saying it is.
Would you like me to edit the post or in future put in, things may change as more evidence is released.
Even if you Google it

It seems to me you attempt to double down with Google. No?

No...I don't "want anything" at all.

Just pointed something out. No personal attacks or anything like that.

I've made some erroneous posts here as well, and then just apologized and fixed it. No big deal.

Carbon Monoxide: The Silent Killer – Heater safety at home

July’s chill means heaters are on, but gas and fire appliances can release carbon monoxide. Stay warm but be alert to this hidden winter danger.

Carbon Monoxide poisoning caused by using a gas heater indoors with poor ventilation. Been Winter, they probably had all windows and doors closed. Probably fell asleep and just never woke up.

Gas heater is innocent, unless a Limpopo witch made it come to life to strangle the girl and overdose the guy.

I wonder why the two were in Sabie - very far away from Sandton, where her school is situated.

Don't know how authentic this is, coming from FB after all.

Statement from Derrick Cooks and Claire Waldeck-Cooks
Our beloved daughter, Cameron Waldeck-Cooks, was a 17-year-old Grade 11 student at St Stithians Girls’ College.
Cameron was working towards the Gold level of The President’s Award for Youth Empowerment, the South African implementation of The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award. As part of the programme, she was preparing to complete a multi-day adventurous journey. When she was invited to join two families on a hiking trip in Sabie, Mpumalanga, she saw it as an opportunity to work towards that goal.
We were notified on the morning of 3rd of August 2026 that Graham Coetzee discovered her body.
We appointed an independent forensic pathologist who has advised us that his preliminary findings indicate that Cameron died as a result of strangulation and suffocation. The police have confirmed that they have opened a murder investigation.
We are aware that conflicting and unverified accounts concerning the circumstances of Cameron’s death have been reported. We ask that speculation not be presented as fact while the investigation and forensic processes remain ongoing.
Cameron was a deeply loved daughter, sister, family member, friend and student. She was kind-hearted, warm and determined. She had a quiet strength, cared deeply for those around her, and naturally encouraged and supported younger girls who looked up to her. Her loss has left an immeasurable void in our lives.
We are profoundly grateful for the compassion and support shown to our family by the entire Saints community, including Cameron’s friends and the netball and rowing communities. Their kindness has sustained us during an unimaginably painful time.
A memorial service will be held later in August, with further details to be communicated at the appropriate time.
We are not in a position to give interviews or comment further at this stage. We respectfully ask the media and the public to protect the privacy of our family and especially the children affected by Cameron’s death, as we grieve and try to come to terms with our devastating loss.

It's on the Times Live website so it seems legit.

Thank you, but some facts are still unclear.

Was the BF connected to one of the two families she went with?
Were they in a relationship, or exes?

Perhaps, just can't recall a story of two people accidentally overdosing at the same time. I can get the idea of one person making a mistake and overdosing, two people both succumbing to an OD, without any warnings or alarms being raised...just seems weird.

A gas leak seems like a more plausible explanation to me, short of tangible evidence either way.
