Corpses of four Uzbeks were found in an apartment in the Russian city of Kaliningrad. Investigators found no signs of foul play in their deaths Wednesday.
The apartment at 22 Gagarin street was rented about a month ago - four men moved there. They came to Kaliningrad from Uzbekistan to work.
Neighbors spoke positively about the deceased, noting that they had worked a lot and rarely came home.
“They were good people. Every day they would leave at half past eight in the morning, and in the evening they would return around nine p.m.. I could only hear the sound of the door closing, they were very calm,” recalls a woman named Lyudmila.
According to preliminary estimates, their deaths were caused by carbon monoxide poisoning. According to the version of the regional Investigative Committee, the gas equipment in the rented apartment was improperly serviced.
“The investigation of the criminal case is under the control of the regional prosecutor's office. "The owner of the apartment may be held responsible for their death. The maximum penalty under the criminal case opened under the Causing death by negligence charge is imprisonment for up to 4 years," said Natalya Gatsko, senior assistant to the head of the Investigative Committee of Russia for the Kaliningrad region.
