The results of a toxicological examination are expected in the near future, ”the Russian embassy told RIA Novosti.
According to Albanian media, the bodies of four Russians were found in a hotel sauna in the village of Kerret, Kavaya district.
Presumably, they died of suffocation.
The Albanian Daily News portal reported that among other versions, the poisoning of tourists with chlorine is being considered.
According to kp.ru, the spouses Sergei and Natalya Burenkovs, as well as their daughter Ekaterina with her fiancé Nikita Belousov, arrived in the country on October 10, traveled to different cities during the day, and returned to the hotel in the evening.
On October 15, the tourists did not eat dinner, but immediately ordered a sauna, where they went from their room, judging by the recordings from CCTV cameras.
They asked for wine and fruit to be delivered to them.
The hotel employee prepared the order in 15 minutes and called the sauna, but no one answered.
Within an hour, he called several more times, but also to no avail.
Opening the premises, the clerk found dead tourists.
