8 people in a house in Da Nang were suffocated by gas, suspected to be caused by using a generator.

On October 28, Mr. Vo Nhu Phong, Chairman of the People's Committee of Dien Ban Tay Commune (Da Nang City) confirmed that there had just been an incident in which 8 people in a house were suffocated by gas, leading to critical condition.

According to initial information, the family of Mr. Nguyen Quang L. (born in 1989, residing in Phong Thu village, Dien Ban Tay commune) used a generator overnight because the living area was flooded and had no electricity. In the morning of the same day, when relatives could not contact the family, they reported it to the authorities.

Authorities transported victims through flooded areas to emergency care.

Upon receiving the news, at 10:45 a.m., local forces arrived at Mr. L's house to verify. When they opened the door, they discovered 4 adults and 4 children unconscious and in critical condition.

Immediately, the Commune Civil Defense Command mobilized forces and people to take all victims to the Commune Health Station for initial first aid. Then, they were transported to the Da Nang - Quang Ngai Expressway for ambulances to take them to hospitals in Da Nang City for emergency treatment.

The initial cause was determined to be suffocation in a closed room. Of the 8 victims, 7 were from the same family and a friend who came to avoid the flood.
