Investigators are examining the role of a grill found at the scene, with autopsies pending to confirm the cause of death.

Three men, aged 18, 25, and 26, were discovered deceased in a garden hut in Wuppertal's Elberfeld district on Sunday evening, April 6, 2025.
Police suspect carbon monoxide poisoning as the cause of death, with a grill found at the scene being a potential source of the gas.
