YEREVAN, JANUARY 16, ARMENPRESS: A family of three were found
asphyxiated by a natural gas leak in a Yerevan district. The Armenian
rescue service said the father of the family, 49, his wife, 45 and
their 21 year old son were killed by a gas leak.
Emergency officials said they checked the apartment after receiving
calls from their neighbors that none of the family members were
responding to telephone calls. The neighbors also complained of gas
smell coming out of their apartment.
When the door was opened the rescuers found three dead bodies.
The return of widespread use of natural gas in Armenia has caused a
number of safety problems in recent years, officials say. The country
had almost no natural gas for more than a decade.
