YEREVAN, JANUARY 16, ARMENPRESS:A family of three were found asphyxiated by a natural gas leak in a Yerevan district. The Armenian rescue service said the father of the family, 49, his wife, 45 and their 21 year old son were killed by a gas leak. Emergency officials said they checked the apartment after receiving calls from their neighbors that none of the family members were responding to telephone calls. The neighbors also complained of gas smell coming out of their apartment. When the door was opened the rescuers found three dead bodies. The return of widespread use of natural gas in Armenia has caused a number of safety problems in recent years, officials say. The country had almost no natural gas for more than a decade.
