KUWAIT CITY, May 8: A forensic report has concluded that the deaths of two expatriates found on the rooftop of a building in the Khaitan area were most likely caused by alcohol poisoning, a security source revealed. The report indicated there were no signs of physical assault or foul play on the bodies.
The Ministry of Interior's operations room received an alert about the discovery of the two bodies, who were later identified as Asian nationals. The remains were transferred to the forensic medicine department for examination, where authorities determined that the individuals had likely consumed locally produced, illicit alcohol.
Investigators are now working to trace the source of the toxic substances and identify those responsible for supplying the tainted liquor. In a separate incident, the same source noted that a body found in the Subiya desert area is being treated as a suspected homicide, with criminal circumstances likely involved.
Experts warn that alcohol poisoning, particularly from unregulated or improperly prepared alcoholic beverages, can severely impair vital functions such as breathing, heart rate, and body temperature, sometimes resulting in coma or death.
