The deaths of the 21 youths in a popular nightspot outside the South African city of East London unleashed an outpouring of grief in the community
Twenty-one youngsters found dead in a tavern on South Africa’s east coast over the weekend may have died by poisoning from a gas leak, a source close to the investigation said on Wednesday.
Eastern Cape’s provincial government said in a statement “autopsies have been performed on the 21 deceased young people and samples have been sent to a lab … for investigation.” He said testing was under way to determine whether the deaths were from carbon monoxide poisoning, possibly from burning propane gas or another petroleum product inside the pub.
