Police said the couple was found dead in the washroom of their house in the Tarabanahalli village in Yelahanka taluk of Bengaluru. "The victims had closed the windows and door of the washroom and succumbed after inhaling carbon monoxide from the geyser", officials said. The police had to break open the door and later found the bodies lying in the washroom.
The incident came to light a day after their death. The hotel staff came in search of them on Sunday noon, and when no response came from inside the victim's house, called the police.
A similar incident had occurred in Mumbai, a couple of months back when a newly-married couple in Mumbai died of suffocation allegedly due to a geyser gas leakage. The couple were found unconscious in their bathroom and the doctors declared them brought dead. The couple, Deepak Shah (40) and Tina Shah (35), who married recently, were residing in Kukreja Towers in Ghatkopar in the eastern suburbs.
The carbon monoxide that comes out during the leak becomes lethal. Carbon monoxide is odourless as well as colourless, and the leak is difficult to trace. Only after a few minutes of inhaling it, one might experience dizziness and could become unconscious quite soon.
