Twelve individuals found dead at Gudauri ski resort suspected of carbon monoxide poisoning after generator use.
On December 16, 2024, the Ministry of Internal Affairs reported that the victims were discovered in a resting area situated above an Indian restaurant. Authorities informed that a generator, which was plugged in the previous day due to a power outage, was found nearby. While there were no signs of foul play, the incident spurred investigations into negligent homicides, given the lethal risks associated with indoor generator usage.
Among the deceased, only one was a Georgian national with the remaining eleven hailing from various countries. Gudauri, positioned near the Russian border, is known as the largest ski resort in Georgia, attracting skiing enthusiasts and adventure seekers for its high-altitude activities.
Authorities remind the public about the dangers of using power generators indoors, emphasizing that such devices must always be operated outdoors to mitigate the risk of carbon monoxide exposure—a persistent hazard frequently highlighted in safety advisories.
