Gas leak kills two in Baranovichi
Two lives were claimed on July 15 in what authorities presume to have been a leak of natural gas in an apartment in Baranovichi, Brest region.
The 27-year-old unemployed owner of the apartment and his two visitors, whose identity remains unknown, were brought to the city hospital late on July 15. Two of them, including the apartment owner, died without regaining consciousness. The third man is in the resuscitation ward. The tragedy is being investigated by the Baranovichi branch of the Ministry of Emergency Situations. Presumably, the
three men became poisoned as a result of a leak from a gas-fueled water heater in the apartment.Gas leak kills two in Baranovichi.
