It was reported earlier that today 28 November 2015, about noon, local time, dead bodies of 5 teenagers aged 15 and 16 without any visual signs of violent death were found in garage cooperative Stalker in the town of Tobolsk, Tyumen Region. According to preliminary data the teenagers might have died of exhaust gas inhalation when the car was on in a closed not aired space. The dead bodies were found today in the afternoon by the owner of the garage, the teenagers’ 20-year-old acquaintance, who had brought the teenagers on his car in the garage the night before. According to him, the teenagers had asked to be left inside, so that they had not to have spent time outside. The young man had agreed and left.
