Abstract:
The bodies of 2 young men were discovered in the hut of a small garden plot. Due to the unclear circumstances of the deaths, a coroner's inquest was ordered. The cause of death was a carbon monoxide poisoning in both victims. At first the source of carbon monoxide was not detectable. According to the reconstruction of the fatal event, the only possible source of carbon monoxide was the charcoal grill found in the hut.
