Carbon monoxide poisoning in Cefalù
In another tragic situation, a 36-year-old German tourist died during his Christmas vacation in Cefalù, Sicily. The cause of death was determined to be carbon monoxide poisoning, possibly caused by a defective chimney. Three other German holidaymakers, two women aged 34 and 60 and a 63-year-old man, were hospitalized with serious health conditions and received support in a hyperbaric chamber. The alarm was raised by the 63-year-old, who was also found unconscious.
The fire department suspected that smoke from the chimney caused the poisoning, as heavy smoke was noticeable in the building when emergency services arrived. Dense smoke could be observed in several rooms of the house. Although a boiler defect is also considered, this is in a different room and therefore may not have been the primary cause. The public prosecutor's office has opened an investigation into this incident.
Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas that is produced during incomplete combustion processes and can be fatal in low concentrations, which is why preventative measures are strongly recommended when using heaters and fireplaces. Cefalù, a picturesque town of about 15,000 residents, attracts large numbers of tourists throughout the year, and its safety standards may now come into greater focus following these incidents.
