Family sleeps with gas heater on, all 3 dead

NEW DELHI: Days after four men died of suspected carbon monoxide poisoning inside a closed room in Hauz Khas, a computer engineer, his wife and their six-year-old son were found dead under similar circumstances in south Delhi's Kotla Mubarakpur area on Tuesday. They had gone to bed leaving a gas-burning heater switched on in the room.

Satish Verma (35), his wife Shashi (30) and their son Archit had lived in the two-room flat in Bhagwan Dass Gali for two years. Satish worked at a computer hardware firm in Noida Sector 52 while Shashi was a housewife. Archit studied at a school in Defence Colony.

On Tuesday evening, Satish had switched on the improvised heater-a small gas cylinder with an attachment-after shutting all doors and windows. Around midnight, he called his brother-in-law, Ravinder, to say Shashi and Archit were feeling uneasy and asked him to suggest a medicine. Shashi's family stayed in G-block nearby.

Shashi's mother, Jagwati, got worried and came to see them around 1.30am but got no response on knocking at the door. She went back thinking they were fast asleep and came back in the morning but again got no response. Around 9.30am, Ravinder informed police. A team from the Kotla Mubarakpur police station reached the house, broke open the door and found Satish's body near the door with froth on the mouth.

Shashi and Archit were found dead in a bed. They too had frothed at the mouth. Police first suspected all three had died after consuming poison but found no evidence of it. The gas heater was still burning in a corner of the room.

After preliminary inquiries, forensics experts said the family may have started feeling uneasy as carbon monoxide built up in the room. Archit had vomited a few times and they all passed out around midnight. Satish was probably alive till 1.30am when Jagwati knocked and he collapsed on the floor while dragging himself to the door.

Hemant Kumar, Defence Colony SDM, said they may have survived had they left even the bathroom door open.

Family members said Satish and Shashi met in college and married in 2008. He had shifted to Delhi from Bihar for higher education. His father was a deed writer at a court and one of his younger brothers works with an engineering firm in Dubai.

The bodies were sent for autopsy and an inquest was started into the cause of death. Police have sought an inquiry by a sub-divisional magistrate.
