Authorities claimed that 12 people, including 11 Indian nationals, were discovered dead at a ski resort in Georgia’s Caucasus Mountains, perhaps from carbon monoxide poisoning.
According to a statement released by Georgia’s Ministry of Internal Affairs, all worked at a restaurant in Gudauri, a well-known ski resort close to the Russian border. The 12th individual was a citizen of Georgia.
They were discovered in a second-floor resting section of the restaurant, where it is thought that a power generator that was installed within the beds was activated following a disruption in the power supply.
According to the ministry, no indications of violence or bodily harm were found during the initial examination.
The ministry stated that a forensic team was trying to ascertain the precise cause of death while Georgian police were looking into the deaths as negligent manslaughter.
The Indian Embassy in Tbilisi stated in a post on Xon Monday that it was collaborating closely with local authorities to expedite the return of the deceased to India.
Because power generators emit deadly levels of carbon monoxide, they should be utilized outdoors almost exclusively.
With an average of 70 fatalities each year, portable generators are one of the most lethal consumer goods in the US.
