TOULOUSE, France: Five residents at a retirement home in southern France have died and around a dozen others are in a serious condition after a suspected case of mass food poisoning, officials said on Monday.Twenty-two people at the privately operated Cheneraie residence in Lherm, a town south of Toulouse, began showing symptoms including vomiting after dinner on Sunday, police said in a statement.Four deaths were initially announced by officials, and a source close to the inquiry later told AFP that a fifth person had died. About a dozen of the 82 residents at the site remain in serious condition.The meals involved have been kept for analysis, the regional health agency said, and residents were being questioned about what they ate. The deaths come as the government is preparing a draft bill on financing the retirement of an ageing population of baby boomers, which is expected to require an additional nine billion euros ($10.1 billion) in the health budget by 2030.
