A tragic incident in Nukus has claimed the lives of three people. On October 18, the bodies of a 25-year-old man, his 23-year-old wife, and a 27-year-old guest who had come to visit that evening were discovered in a home in the 23rd microdistrict. Their bodies were found the following morning by neighbors who raised the alarm after realizing the residents were not responding.
An emergency investigative team was immediately dispatched to the scene. During the initial investigation, it was determined that the cause of death was carbon monoxide poisoning, with the gas seeping into the room through a heating boiler exhaust pipe. This may have occurred due to malfunctions in the heating system or improper use of the boiler.
An inquiry is currently underway to establish all the circumstances of the incident and to inspect the condition of the home’s heating equipment. Such tragedies highlight the critical need for strict monitoring and regular maintenance of heating systems, especially during the fall and winter seasons when the risk of carbon monoxide-related accidents increases.
Carbon monoxide poisoning is one of the most insidious household dangers, as the gas has no odor or color, making it undetectable to people. Symptoms of poisoning, such as dizziness, weakness, and nausea, can appear subtly, and if no immediate action is taken, it can result in fatal outcomes.
In light of this tragic case, specialists remind residents of the importance of regular technical inspections for heating boilers and ventilation systems. Installing specialized carbon monoxide detectors can also significantly reduce the risk of poisoning and ensure safety at home.
