THE GENERATOR OPERATED IN THE WELL POISONED THEM

During the checks conducted by AFAD teams, a high concentration of carbon monoxide was detected in the well, and firefighters found a generator inside the well. It is believed that the 2 individuals who operated the generator without adequate ventilation in the well they dug for treasure were poisoned by the carbon monoxide gas that accumulated in the pit as a result of the smoke produced. While the health teams were intervening with the injured, Emirkan K.'s brother, Hasan K., who arrived at the scene after hearing about the incident, suffered a nervous breakdown and was attempted to be calmed down by his relatives.
