Tragedy in Palermo: a woman and her nine-year-old son died of carbon monoxide poisoning

A 44-year-old woman and her 9-year-old son died from carbon monoxide poisoning in their apartment in Palermo, Buenos Aires, attributed to a gas leak. The incident occurred in the early hours of Tuesday after emergency services were called to the building. A 14-year-old girl who was also present was found alive but was hospitalized in critical condition. Six ambulances from SAME arrived at the scene, and paramedics discovered three lifeless bodies in the second-floor apartment. Despite resuscitation efforts, the woman and child could not be revived. The teenager suffered severe breathing difficulties and signs of suffocation from inhaling the toxic gas and was taken to a children’s hospital. Authorities cut off the gas supply to the home and are investigating the cause of the leak. Preliminary findings suggest the kitchen appliance malfunctioned, compounded by the absence of required ventilation grilles. The case has been handed over to the National Prosecutor’s Office for further investigation. This year alone, there have been more than 1,400 cases of carbon monoxide poisoning in Argentina, with at least 14 resulting in death.
