TWELVE people have died from carbon monoxide poisoning at a popular tourist ski resort in Georgia, cops have said.

The bodies of 11 foreigners and one Georgian national were found in a sleeping area above a restaurant in Gudauri, in the north of the Caucasus country.


Police said "preliminary tests do not indicate any trace of violence on the bodies," which were discovered on the second floor of a building housing an Indian food restaurant at the ski resort.

An oil-powered generator had been switched on after the building lost electricity on Friday, officers added.

The authorities have opened an investigation into the incident.

The identities of the victims were not immediately released.
