“On December 27, 2021, at about noon, the bodies of a 41-year-old man and a 37-year-old woman were found in the apartment of one of the houses on Pavlova Street in Ulan-Ude. Also inside there were three more men and a woman who needed medical help in connection with poisoning with alcohol substitutes, ”the message says.
According to the preliminary version, a company of men and women who were engaged in vagrancy gathered in the apartment of a local resident on Sunday evening. All those present drank alcohol. At night, they bought bottles of alcohol-containing liquid intended for disinfection at a nearby grocery store, and, returning to the apartment, began to use the antiseptic inside. In the morning everyone felt unwell and pain, after a while two people died, and the rest were sent to the hospital with a preliminary diagnosis of “food poisoning with an antiseptic.”
Investigators have now seized all similar products from the store for chemical and sanitary research. A forensic medical examination was appointed to establish the exact cause of death of the deceased. Based on the results of the pre-investigation check, a legal decision will be made.
