January 9, 2026
The investigation into the death of a 78-year-old man focuses on the substance GBL found in a water cooler. Specialized analyses revealed that a cleaning product was poured into the cooler, which is also used by drug users. The man's son, who has a history of drug-related issues, has been in custody since December 28. After consuming the contaminated water, several relatives required immediate medical attention. The case appears to have a criminal aspect, but investigators suggest that the events may be due to a mistake rather than malicious intent.
