The great blackout is charged the life of at least five people | Spain

The great blackout that since 12.33 on Monday affected the Peninsula and Portugal has charged the lives of at least five people, for three different causes derived from the mass electricity. In Taboadela (Ourense), three family members They died from inhaling carbon monoxide presumably from a generating apparatus. In Alzira (Valencia) a 46 -year -old woman perished when she was missing the oxygen that provided a machine that works with electricity and in Madrid, another woman lost her life in a fire whose trigger could be a candle.

The Civil Guard investigates the causes that caused the death of a marriage and his Orensanos son who, according to an official spokesman of the armed institute, have been found this morning inside his home. The agents and forensics of the Institute of Legal Medicine of Galicia investigate whether the family died due to the malfunction of a domestic generator or a fuel device, due to carbon monoxide inhalation. In Catalonia, Firefighters have made at least nine assists for the bad combustion of electrogenerators.

In Alzira (Valencia), a 46 -year -old woman who was in her house connected to a machine that provided her oxygen to help her died after the device without electricity for the blackout, has reported the Superior Police Headquarters of the Valencian Community. The agents were required at 13.00 from the room of 091 because the woman, who suffered a pulmonary pathology, had stopped breathing. The police who arrived at the home tried to help her and carry out maneuvers of cardiopulmonary resuscitation for about 29 minutes, until the arrival of health care, according to the National Police, but the work of the toilets was unsuccessful.

Already on Monday night, in the Carabanchel district (southern Madrid), a fire spread in the house of a middle -aged woman in full blackout. The body was also found last night on the first floor of Clara Campoamor street. The National Police has taken charge of the investigation of the causes and the first hypotheses point to a candle as the trigger of the fire in one of the rooms. The incident quickly caused an intense smoke that reached the other room, in which the victim was, and went up the facade until affecting other neighbors, several of whom had to be rescued; 13 had to be treated by the Samur and, from them, five were transferred to a hospital.

On one in the morning the police were still at the gates of the home, waiting for the arrival of the judicial authority and the coroner. At that time they agreed again to the house and finished the eye inspection. A group of relatives of the deceased woman, who declined to speak, lamented what happened on the sidewalk in front. The facade was already blackened and through the windows with bars, a completely razed interior could be glimpsed.

The main line of research is that a candle triggered the fire. At the time the flames broke out, Electricity had not yet returned fully to the Carabanchel district. Last night, in fact, there were still several streets in that area and the neighboring district of Usera that followed in complete darkness due to the lack of public lighting.
