Five members of a single family from Tangdar area of Kupwara district died of suffocation last night at a rented accommodation at Bemina Srinagar. While talking to Dr.Numan said that a family from Tangdar had come to Srinagar for medical treatment of a lady and had rented a room somewhere in bemina as reported by the police In the Morning 5th January,we in SKIMS Medical College Hospital (JVC) Received 5 patient including 2 Children, 2 women and a male member in unconscious state after examining them it was revealed that they had no cardiac activity and after relevant examinations all 5 were declared dead . The immideate cause of death was cardiopulmonary arrest and final cause of death may be assertianed after autopsy . At this time we can say it may be a carbon monoxide poisoning which can result in such catastrophic conditions but actual cause can only be assertianed by autopsy. Personally speaking it was a tragic incident to see a family of 5 including 2 toddlers was very very painful. Recommendation: we request people who are using gas heaters not to keep the gas heater on over the night and while it use mountain proper ventilation as carbon monoxide is odourless gas which causes difficulty in breathing , confusion , dizziness , muscle weakness and sometimes death.
