Hyderabad:
In a tragic event, three members of a family lost their lives after becoming unconscious in a bathroom at an apartment in Sanathnagar.
The incident occurred at Akruti Apartments in Czech Colony, Sanathnagar, on Sunday. The victims were identified as R. Venkatesh (59), his wife Madhavi (52), and their son Harikrishna (25).
Other residents of the building grew concerned when the family did not come out of their flat on Sunday. After failed attempts to contact them, the neighbors broke the door and found the bodies in the bathroom.
The police arrived at the scene and moved the bodies to Gandhi Hospital for a post-mortem examination.
Doctors stated that initial reports suggest carbon monoxide gas from a gas-based heater caused their deaths. The gas, which is colorless, tasteless, and odorless, likely made them unconscious within five minutes.
