The couple were reportedly taking a bath when they tragically died from carbon monoxide poisoning.

With the number of carbon monoxide poisoning death stories, it is clear how these tragic cases should not be taken lightly. With all the time we spend at home nowadays, it is better to regularly check on our household equipment to prevent such accidents.

In a recent case in East China, a couple passed away while taking a shower due to accidental carbon monoxide poisoning. Their names have not been reported. 

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Death Stories: Couple In China Passes Away While Taking A Shower

According to Chinese media Sin Chew Daily, the 31-year-old husband and 34-year-old wife are from Jiangxi Province. They were simply taking a bath when they tragically passed away. 

It has been identified by preliminary investigations that the cause of death was due to accidental carbon monoxide poisoning. 

Faulty gas heaters in the toilet can produce carbon monoxide. Since it is both colourless and odourless, this makes that gas even more dangerous as victims would not immediately realise its presence.

While an autopsy is required to find the exact cause of the couple’s death, their families reportedly refused.

Couple Leaves Behind 8 Children

The deceased couple leaves behind 8 children who are currently being taken care of by their grandmother, uncle and aunt. Their children consist of 6 girls and 2 boys, as per Global Times. Their youngest child is only 9 months old.

The government will also be providing them with monthly subsidies till they turn 18 years old. The Zhuting Township Government of Yuanzhou District has also given the children’s grandmothers S$4,292 (¥20,000). 

In addition to this, each child will receive an orphan subsidy of S$257 (¥1,200) per month until they reach the age of 18.
