Findings from the Autopsy of the Charred Body in Nicosia

Investigations by the Nicosia TAE and the electromechanical service are ongoing to determine the cause of the fire that broke out in a multi-story building warehouse in Nicosia in the early hours of Christmas, where a charred body was found. The autopsy showed that death was caused by inhalation of soot. Blood and teeth samples have been taken for victim identification, the results of which are expected. Authorities estimate that the fire started from an electric heater found at the scene, which the victim may have been using to keep warm. The electromechanical service's investigations will determine the exact cause of the fire. The Nicosia TAE has a direction for the identity of the victim, who is believed to have found temporary shelter in the warehouse on Christmas Eve.
