A bird’s nest in a chimney in a home in Herne, west Germany, has lead to the death of three family members. A 41-year-old woman, her 18-year-old daughter and 8-year-old son died from carbon monoxide poisoning when the bird’s nest prevented proper air circulation in the home.
Authorities revealed that there were high concentrations of carbon monoxide in the victims’ lungs. The species of bird nesting in the chimney was not revealed.
