Tragedy in Paphos: Employer Finds Employee Dead in Underground Room

A 59-year-old employer discovered his 44-year-old employee and a 32-year-old woman unconscious in the basement of a restaurant in Paphos. The 44-year-old had been using the basement as a residence. The 32-year-old was transported to the hospital with severe respiratory problems and is in intensive care. A metal container with burning coals was found in the room, apparently used for heating, causing the 44-year-old's death due to fumes. The exact cause of death will be determined after an autopsy. Police are investigating the case.
