SARAJEVO – Eight youth died in Bosnia overnight at a weekend home where they celebrated the New Year, said police, with local media reporting that they were victims of gas poisoning.
The victims comprised four men and four women, aged between 18 and 20, who were found dead in the house in a village in the country’s south, said police.
Officers and ambulances rushed to the scene after being informed that several people, who were celebrating the New Year, were found unconscious in Trebistovo, police official Milan Galic told regional TV channel N1.
“The most likely cause of death is… gas poisoning,” he said, adding that more details will be known after the investigations.
Local media reported that the victims most likely died from exposure to gas that apparently came from a generator.
Prime Minister Zoran Tegeltija conveyed condolences to the victims’ families. – AFP, January 2, 2021
