According to Georgia’s Ministry of Internal Affairs, Initial inspections revealed no signs of injuries or violence. The initial investigation pointed to a power generator placed in a closed area near the bedrooms as the likely cause of the poisoning. It is believed that the generator was turned on after a power outage occurred on Friday night, leading to a buildup of carbon monoxide in the confined space.
Local authorities have launched an investigation under Article 116 of Georgia’s Criminal Code, which pertains to negligent manslaughter. A forensic medical examination has been ordered to determine the exact cause of death, and investigative actions, including forensic-criminalistics work and interviews, are underway.
