Three young men died after lighting a fireplace to escape the cold. Find out what went wrong.:

News Topical, Digital Desk : A shocking incident has occurred in Karnataka's Belagavi district. Three young men died in a shocking incident in Aman Nagar on Monday night, while one is in critical condition. According to reports, to escape the cold, the young men lit a fireplace and closed their room. As a result, carbon monoxide inhaled while they were sleeping, resulting in the deaths of three young men, while one is in critical condition.

How did three people lose their lives?

According to police sources, the four young men returned home late at night after attending a wedding and went to sleep in a room with little or no ventilation. Due to the cold night, they kept a traditional charcoal stove burning throughout the night. The lack of ventilation caused carbon monoxide levels in the room to reach lethal levels.

The neighbors broke down the door

The incident came to light on Tuesday evening when neighbors broke open the door after repeatedly calling the young men without receiving any response. The deceased have been identified as Rihan Matte (22), Sarfaraz Harappanahalli (22), and Moin Nalband (23). Shanwaz, who survived, is currently in the ICU of a private hospital. The bodies were taken to BIMS Hospital for post-mortem. A case has been registered at the Malamaruthi police station.

Carbon monoxide is very dangerous.

Carbon monoxide is extremely toxic because it prevents the blood from carrying oxygen to vital organs. When inhaled, it combines with hemoglobin to form carboxyhemoglobin, causing severe oxygen deprivation. Police confirmed that carbon monoxide poisoning caused the deaths.
