In Bucha, a family died due to a faulty boiler: their 4-year-old son is in the hospital.

It is preliminarily believed that the tragedy could have occurred due to carbon monoxide poisoning, likely as a result of a gas boiler failure. An investigation is currently underway.

The Bucha district police department in the Kyiv region has opened a criminal proceeding under paragraph 1, paragraph 2 part 2 article 115 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.

This case is not isolated: recently in Kirovohrad region, two children and one adult died due to carbon monoxide poisoning.
