A Singaporean man travelling in Italy died in a hotel room on Sept 16, reported local media outlet La Sicilia on Sept 23.<\/p>\n
The 66-year-old was reportedly staying in Rifugio Sapienza, on the Mount Etna volcano on Sicily island.<\/p>\n
According to La Sicilia, the hotel was closed for several days following the death.<\/p>\n
After it reopened, however, several guests allegedly suffered carbon monoxide poisoning between Sunday (Sept 20) night and Monday, local newspaper Giornale di Sicilia reported.<\/p>\n
Thirty-two guests and six hotel employees were purportedly affected, with some taken to hospital for treatment.<\/p>\n
On Monday, authorities found the presence of carbon monoxide in many areas of the hotel, reported Rai News.<\/p>\n
It is suspected that the gas leak might be due to a malfunction of the exhaust system of a boiler powered by liquefied petroleum gas, according to the report.<\/p>\n
Carbon monoxide was allegedly detected in rooms located above the kitchen, with the highest concentration in the one occupied by the Singaporean tourist, La Sicilia reported.<\/p>\n
An investigation into the two events has been opened by the Catania Prosecutor’s Office to determine if the two events are linked.<\/p>\n
