More than 25 people were poisoned by carbon monoxide during a dinner in a large, domed tent at a campsite in central Switzerland, local police said today.
“Late on Saturday night, several people in Giesville were poisoned by carbon monoxide and had to be hospitalized,” the police in the canton of Obwald said.
A private party had been organized on the stage with the participation of 35 guests. Around 10.30pm local time, many of them lost consciousness and others felt discomfort. They immediately went outside into the fresh air. A total of 26 people were poisoned and 17 of them had to be hospitalized.
Early indications were that there was a build-up of carbon monoxide at the scene. Police are investigating the case in collaboration with the Forensic Institute Zurich to establish how this happened.
