Two Found Dead in Schwedt Garden Shed as Police Suspect Carbon Monoxide

Investigators say a charcoal stove was still burning in the small structure and they are not currently treating the deaths as a crime.

Overview

  • The victims were a 40-year-old woman and a 41-year-old man discovered Wednesday evening in a community garden shed in Schwedt/Oder, Brandenburg.
  • An emergency call was received shortly after 8 p.m., and responders found both individuals unresponsive inside the structure.
  • Police reported finding a charcoal stove still in use, and they consider carbon monoxide poisoning a possible cause pending further investigation.
  • Authorities have not confirmed whether the pair were the garden plot’s tenants, and other background details remain unavailable.
  • Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas produced by incomplete combustion, and lethal concentrations can build up in enclosed spaces.
