- Unfortunately, a 13-year-old individual from Marl succumbs to carbon monoxide intoxication.
A thirteen-year-old lass was discovered unconscious in a flat in Marl, showing indications of carbon monoxide intoxication. Unfortunately, she passed away in a medical facility afterwards. The authorities revealed the reason for her demise following an autopsy. However, the specific events that led to the poisoning remain shrouded in mystery, with the investigation continuing. The young lady was identified on a Tuesday evening.
The authorities enlisted the assistance of the Member States' environmental agencies in their investigation to understand the sources of carbon monoxide in the flat.
