A 65-year-old woman and a 74-year-old man have died at their home in Camarles (Tarragona) as a result of carbon monoxide inhalation poisoning, and everything points to poor combustion of a butane gas heater.

Sources from the Mossos d'Esquadra and the Generalitat Fire Department have informed EFE that the two deceased were found in bed this morning.

The investigation is still open, but everything points to the fact that it is an accidental death due to carbon monoxide poisoning, which can be released by butane gas heaters when they do not combustion properly.

The deceased are a 65-year-old woman and a 74-year-old man, residents of Camarles, a small municipality near Tortosa (Tarragona).

The Fire Brigade of the Generalitat has sent three crews to the scene.
