Perugia \u2013 A musician was found dead in his room at a hotel in Perugia\u2019s Old Town. The woman who had traveled with him is in critical condition; she was taken to Ravenna for treatment in a hyperbaric chamber. Investigators believe the cause of death was carbon monoxide poisoning.<\/p>\n
The man was in his mid-fifties and was part of a group of about forty musicians who had come to the Umbrian capital for a concert at the Sala dei Notari. When the two failed to show up for the performance on Friday evening, their colleagues raised the alarm. Emergency responders found the musician in a room on the third floor.<\/p>\n
The fire department subsequently detected elevated carbon monoxide levels on several floors of the building and ordered the building to be evacuated. Investigators are focusing their attention on a room near the one where the building\u2019s heating system is located. An expert report must determine whether the cause was a technical defect, inadequate exhaust venting, or a failure to perform maintenance. As of now, authorities are treating the incident as an accident.<\/p>\n
Carbon monoxide is colorless and odorless and is therefore often not detected until those affected are already incapacitated. Early symptoms\u2014headaches, nausea, and drowsiness\u2014can easily be mistaken for other causes; when a person is asleep, these symptoms are completely absent. In Italy, regulations for commercially operated heating systems require regular inspections; however, detectors that alert to the presence of the gas are not universally required in lodging facilities. Following accidents of this kind, this very issue is regularly revisited in public debate.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
