Note: Carbon monoxide (CO) is an odorless and colorless gas that is produced by incomplete combustion and can be life-threatening. It is strongly recommended that you never operate open fires or grills in enclosed spaces.

The two foreign nationals were found dead on the first floor of a building in Episkopi, Limassol, apparently from carbon monoxide poisoning.

According to police reports, one of the men had previously stayed in the building, while the second victim was apparently a friend who had stayed there yesterday. The area where they were discovered had been converted into residential quarters and also housed company offices. Sources familiar with the investigation told Philenews that one of the victims was apparently linked to the company that worked in the building.

No fire detected
It is noteworthy that no fire broke out in the room and the fire department was not called to the scene , confirming earlier reports of the incident.

The deaths in Limassol have come against a backdrop of increasing public awareness of the growing housing crisis and inequality in Cyprus , and in Limassol in particular. On 15 February , a family of five died in their home in the working class district of Agios Nikolaos in Limassol after a fire broke out due to an electrical fault.

The housing crisis in Limassol is exacerbated by the city's development and plans, as it focuses on exclusive high-rise buildings for the rich, especially foreign investors.
This has driven up rental prices in Cyprus' second-largest city, forcing many families to seek cheaper and less secure alternatives. The family of five reportedly lived in a one-bedroom apartment divided in half with flammable panels .

The municipality of Limassol has issued a statement promising housing reform.
