So sad, a whole family wiped off. It must have been generator fumes or food poisoning. May God rest their souls. cry
Food poisioning cannot kill like this. I get food poisioning every now and then, especially when I change environment. Except you meant deliberate poisoning.

Food poisoning (foodborne illness) comes from microbes or natural toxins in food, often from contamination during growth, processing, or handling, causing illness like bacteria or viruses; whereas deliberate poisoning involves intentionally adding harmful chemicals or substances (like cleaning agents or drugs) to food, creating a clear act of harm with potentially faster, more severe symptoms, often requiring urgent medical intervention like gastric lavage or antitoxins, unlike typical food poisoning which often resolves with rest and fluids.

This looks like generator fumes. A second option is food poisoning, but that seems less likely.
Generator fumes can not kill everyone at once.

Poison food can

Looks more like Carbon Monoxide Poisoning. The scene dictates some level of peace and strange calmness.

My bet is on Carbon Monoxide. They would only start choking at the critical time in their sleep and by that time, they are too weak to go around or do much before their system collapses totally.

Food poisoning is not Black Magic, every one's system carries different response which means one of these could have been alive or help could even get to one but this one, is too common.

May their Souls Rest In Peace.

My friend keep quiet on this one.

Did you go through chemistry class at all.

We are talking of a carbon monoxide here

Generator fumes can kill many people at once.
In fact, generator fumes are one of the fastest and most dangerous household killers.

Generator fumes contain carbon monoxide (CO) — a colorless, odorless, invisible gas.
When people breathe it in:
It replaces oxygen in the blood

The brain and heart shut down

Victims collapse quietly, often in their sleep
Many people can die in the same room at the same time
Entire families have died together from generator fumes used indoors or near windows.
Go and check it

Imagine been strangled each time you try to breathe.

Most likely Carbon Monoxide from generator fumes.

BTW, it will surprise you that some persons around their cycle wil be inwardly happy about this tragedy. Such is the wickedness of man's heart.
for real. The family looks well to do to some extent. They seemed to be doing fine financially

Generator fumes.

Very sad, this is not far from good poisoning. God have mercy
Re: Family Of Six Found Dead In Eleme, Rivers State by tonididdy(m): 1:08pm On Jan 14
Generator fume.
I fear this thing pass death itself.

With food poisoning, they won't all die and at least one or two will be conscious enough to raise alarms.

But you see that fume...your fast asleep, it then weakens you, if you are lucky to awaken you'll be too weak to move and will instead inhale more fume which will finally take the soul.

My verdict: generator fume ( and could even be the neighbors)
Re: Family Of Six Found Dead In Eleme, Rivers State by tonididdy(m): 1:10pm On Jan 14
One advantage of insomnia.

Person like me, you can never find me asleep at 1,2,3am never!

Re: Family Of Six Found Dead In Eleme, Rivers State by Thedon12(m): 1:33pm On Jan 14
A source in the area, who gave his name as Obarilomate, said all members of the family died, adding that the development caused panic in the community.

He alleged that the death may have resulted from generator fume, noting that the family had left their power generator set on in their parlour.

However, the Rivers State Police Command, said it has launched investigation into the development to ascertain the actual cause of death.

How can Air conditioner kill someone pls?
AdolfHitlerxXx:
Carbon monoxide poisoning likely from generator.

Two of them had what looked like foam rising from the nostrils.

The man's back muscles were flexed, probably try to get up.

Horrible. Like the Angel of Death just decided to wipe the entire family.

In cases like this, they shouldn't just snap pictures of the dead, the distance of their generators should also be documented.

And it's not just generators as most think. Faulty mechanisms of car A.C.s have killed some couples who park for some extracurricular activities.

Leaky AC from where pls?
Can you explain it a little for clarity.
Am confuse.
GreenCovering:
Could also be cfc/hfc emission from a leaky AC unit nearby.

Negative mindset,are you even serious with your life.
The guy has a point. It is a known fact how our police work to unravel this kind of death.


So, what point do you havehuh Just curious.

Mexyz:

I doubt it. Scared not.. even if anything want to leak in Ac, it will be outside where the compressor is. And wont take long to leak finish. So how will it enter and engulf the room?

What is the size of a compressor ? Very small.

I was wondering too o.

But seems the man died last..he struggled to see the kids. cry

But too weak to do anything.

Not A.C. precisely but many many couples have died doing kerewatic activities in the car with engine running.

So my theory is, the Carbon monoxide from the exhaust is somehow piped in through the ventilation system.

Just Google " randy couple" + " dies in car' + "Nairaland"

You will see a lot of examples. Not a single home incident. So likely from blowback from car exhaust returned through the AC vents.

Food poisoning most definitely! sad
Re: Family Of Six Found Dead In Eleme, Rivers State by RealityKings1: 3:48pm On Jan 14
Please always cover your food well. Don't let wall geko enter your pot.
Peradventure it does, please throwaway the entire food
Re: Family Of Six Found Dead In Eleme, Rivers State by MasterTeeUSA: 4:06pm On Jan 14
Most likely Carbon Monoxide poisoning from Generator...if its food poisoning, they will be in pain and will likely be making noise but carbon monoxide is a silent killer. Keep the generator away from the house, don't buy adulterated fuels and service your generator or if possible install solar. A word is enough for the wise. So sad and may their souls rest in peace.

In this life, we work hard, but we dont know when we will go. A whole family and children gone...now others will inherit or fight over what they worked so hard to build. Vanity is all
