Barbecue evening in an apartment in Mühlhausen: the family poisoned themselves Regional

Mühlhausen – Five people grilled in their apartment in Mühlhausen (Rhein-Neckar-Kreis) and poisoned themselves with the smoke.

As a police spokeswoman said on Wednesday, the entire family with carbon monoxide poisoning had been taken to a hospital as a precaution. Nobody was in mortal danger.

According to the police, those affected had fired up a charcoal grill in the apartment of a two-family house on Tuesday evening. It was initially unclear who had alerted the rescue workers. There was no property damage.

The police pointed out that grilling with charcoal indoors is life-threatening: “Never use charcoal grills in closed rooms.”
