Tragedy in Budapest: a family of 4 died together

The parents and their two children were found together in their Budapest home.

A little over three months ago, Daily News Hungary reported the tragic accident of a Hungarian family in Florida. In that case, the two children were lucky to survive. 

This accident, on the other hand, had a much worse ending. A family of 4 were found dead in their own home on Monday in the late hours in the VI^th district of the Hungarian capital.

The two parents and their children were victims of a carbon-dioxide poisoning.

Blikk reported it first, based on their sources, that the family have been probably dead for days, even though they were found only on Monday.

Dr Qidan Munther was a much loved and appreciated family doctor/physician

who was commuting between Budapest and the big settlement of Tarpa in Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg county, where he worked in his profession.

A waitress, working in the restaurant right next to the apartment, told origo.hu that his colleagues started to look for him after he had not shown up to work for several days. As there was no reaction or answer on his part, the police started a search. That is how he was found, together with his whole family, in their home in the capital. The firefighters had to break the windows to get inside.

Neither the employees of the restaurant nor the neighbours did smell absolutely anything of the lethal gas.
