MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WMBF) - The overnight nursing supervisor at Grand Strand Regional Medical Center confirmed all 14 patients who were being treated for respiratory issues following an accidental chemical mixture have been discharged from the hospital.
The area where the chemicals were mixed has been isolated, and a pool company was en route to the hotel. They know one of the two chemicals was muriatic acid. Captain David Knipes says the other chemical was chlorine.
It was later confirmed that the two chemicals were mixed by an employee of the hotel by accident, creating the strong fumes that affected the employees and guests.
Crews did not evacuate the hotel completely. The lower floors were cleared as a precaution.
