Police have reported that twelve individuals succumbed to carbon monoxide poisoning at a ski resort located in Georgia. Officials stated that the remains of eleven foreign nationals and one Georgian citizen were discovered in a sleeping area situated above a restaurant in Gudauri, which is recognized as the largest and highest ski resort within the former Soviet state. The AFP news agency conveyed that police indicated “preliminary tests do not indicate any trace of violence on the bodies,” suggesting the incident was accidental. Officers further noted that an oil-powered generator had been activated following a power outage in the building on Friday. The discovery of the bodies took place on Saturday, on the second floor of a structure that accommodates an Indian restaurant. An investigation into the occurrence has been initiated by authorities, and the identities of those who died have not yet been disclosed. Gudauri serves as a favored tourist spot for individuals keen on skiing and snowboarding, offering diverse winter sports options suitable for participants of varying skill levels. The resort’s origins trace back to the 19th Century, when it functioned as a trading post along the historic Georgian Military Road, which linked Russia and Georgia. Gudauri is situated in the Caucasus mountains within the Mtskheta-Mtianeti region, approximately 2,200m (7,200ft) above sea level, and lies about 120km (75 miles) north of Tbilisi, Georgia’s capital.
