Preliminary investigations suggest the incident was accidental, with no signs of violence found on the bodies, according to AFP.

Police reported that an oil-powered generator had been used after a power outage on Friday, which likely led to the fatal buildup of carbon monoxide. The bodies were found on Saturday on the second floor of the building housing the restaurant.

Authorities have launched an investigation into the tragedy, and the victims’ identities have not yet been disclosed.
