Initial assessments by Metrogas provided to the Argentine News Agency inform that “the water heater’s ventilation was obstructed by debris”. This case recalled what happened at the beginning of July last year, also in Villa Devoto, when four adults and a girl died from carbon monoxide concentration inside the home. The victims were identified as Demetrio De Nastchokine, 79 years old; Graciela Just, 74; Andrés De Nastchokine, 43; Marie Lanane, 42, and Elisa De Nastchokine, 4 years old, while a baby survived. The investigation at the home revealed a boiler failure and that the ventilation was blocked by nylon. Buenos Aires, February 3 (NA) – A sad precedent occurred in the same Buenos Aires neighborhood of Villa Devoto when a family died from carbon monoxide poisoning in July 2025. While the commotion over the death of a nanny and two children continues, the authorities are sounding alarms about the lack of control over home appliances. This Monday, it was learned that a 32-year-old woman and two children, aged 2 and 4, died from carbon monoxide poisoning inside a home located on Mercedes Street at 4400, Villa Devoto.
