The Caucasus: Twelve People Found Dead Inside Restaurant at Popular Ski Resort



Twelve people were found dead inside a restaurant at a popular ski resort in Gudauri, in the Caucasus Mountains of Georgia. This well-known ski resort is near the Russian border and located approximately 75 miles north of the country’s capital city of Tbilisi.

“In the resting area on the second floor of the Indian restaurant located in Gudauri, the bodies of 12 people employed in the same facility were found,” Georgian officials said in a statement. “At the initial inspection, no signs of body injuries or signs of violence were detected.”

Authorities discovered that a power generator had been placed in a closed space within an indoor area of the resort near some bedrooms and the deaths may have been caused by negligent manslaughter.

The investigation into the deaths is currently ongoing.

This looks like carbon monoxide poisoning at this point. The poor fellows must have been cold and kept the windows shut while the generator kept them warm.
