Two individuals found deceased in a sauna due to carbon monoxide poisoning.
In the heart of Zillingdorf, Austria, a rescue emergency unfolded on Monday afternoon. The local fire brigade, along with reinforcements from Eggendorf, were called to the scene due to smoke billowing from a house in Zillingdorf-Markt.
Upon arrival, the fire brigade made contact with the police and emergency services. The operation, which took about thirty minutes, was a race against time. Sadly, the attending doctor could only confirm the death of the two residents.
Two people were rescued from the house, with the firefighters donning independent respiratory protection before entering the building. The forces returned to the fire station after the operation was completed.
Investigations into the cause of the incident are ongoing, but it is believed that there was an increased concentration of carbon monoxide in the affected house. Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning in saunas, while rare, can occur if there is improper ventilation or faulty heating equipment, especially if the sauna uses a fuel-burning heater.
For the most current and specific details about this incident, we recommend checking with Austrian local news sources, health departments, or official investigation reports.
