Four family members have died after inhaling smoke from a generator in an apartment building on Shwe Laung Street in Lin Lun Taung Ward, Sanchaung Township, Yangon Region, as reported by nearby residents.
The incident was discovered on the morning of May 1, when a foul smell prompted to alert the authorities about the deaths of the four family members.
The deceased include a 30-year-old father, a 25-year-old mother, their 8-year-old son, and the mother’s 16-year-old sister, along with the family dog, according to a local resident.
It is believed that they died from smoke inhalation caused by a generator in a back room that was running to power an air conditioner during a power outage. The family had recently moved to Sanchaung from another area, residents reported. The bodies have been transported to Yangon General Hospital, and investigations are currently underway at the Sanchaung Police Station.
