The postmortem revealed that the death of four people inside a house at Kawdana in Dehiwela this morning has been caused by the inhalation of toxic gas.

Mount Lavinia Additional Magistrate Praharsha Ranasinghe, who conducted the magisterial inquiry into the deaths, had ordered that the body parts be sent to the Government Analyst.

Investigations carried out at the scene have revealed that the carbon monoxide had been emitted after a mobile phone charger that was plugged in got burnt. (H.M. Dharmapala)

    How do you explain the chared bodies?

    Current affairs in SL under the new government should be investigated as they have a good reputation of these type of acts

    Can a burnt mobile charger emit carbon monoxide causing 4 lives? How the bodies got charred?

    Looks like jumping the gun conclusion.

    Reasons and the charred bodies are contradicting.

    Carbon Monoxide is deathly gas which is odourless.If it exists at a mere 0.04% it could cause death.Please check Google for dead resulting from carbon monoxide and you could see the same results as what happened here.
