Investigation Launched After Death and Illnesses in Larnaca

An investigation is underway in Larnaca following the death of a 78-year-old man and the hospitalization of four others, linked to the consumption of water from a water cooler. The State Chemistry Service is expected to deliver the results of the tests within the week, which are considered crucial to the case. Police are taking statements from individuals who were present at the house during the incident, but so far no evidence of criminal activity has emerged. However, it is emphasized that the case is delicate and requires the completion of scientific examinations for a full assessment. No other incidents involving the same water cooler have been reported, and there is currently no need for experts from abroad.
