Lack of Ventilation in Bathroom Blamed for Young Woman’s Death
Nelamangala: In a tragic incident, a 27-year-old woman died due to carbon monoxide poisoning from a gas geyser in her bathroom in Nelamangala New Town, near Bengaluru. The incident occurred on Friday evening, reportedly due to poor ventilation in the bathroom.
The deceased has been identified as Meghna, a native of Annigeri village in Kadur taluk, Chikkamagaluru district. According to police sources, Meghna collapsed in the bathroom after inhaling poisonous gas that leaked from the gas geyser while she was bathing.
Her boyfriend Satish, who had come to visit her, discovered the incident after she failed to respond for an extended time. Upon entering the bathroom, he found her unconscious and immediately rushed her to a private hospital, where doctors declared her brought dead.
Police Investigation Underway
