The former mayor of Sadova village of Călărași district Vladimir Susarenco and his wife were found dead in the basement of the household. It is presumed that the couple got poisoned by the carbon dioxide emanating from the wine in the fermentation process.
The mayor’s office sent a message of condolence to the family on behalf of the Local Council, of which the former mayor was a member. “A boundless sadness left all the inhabitants of Sadova speechless. The news about the death of the Susarenco family Vladimir and Maria shook our entire community... They were endowed by the Good God with special human qualities, such as humanity, diligence. They were particularly hardworking, industrious, modest and full of love for the people and life. They lived with dignity, uprightness and fairness,” reads the message of the local public administration.
Parliament Speaker Igor Grosu also came with a message of condolence. “It is with sadness that we learned about the death of our colleague Vladimir Susarenco and his wife Maria. I express my most sincere condolences to the family and to all those who knew them. Vladimir was a man dedicated to his work both as the mayor of Sadova and as deputy mayor of Călărași town and, at the moment, as local councilor. May God rest them in peace,” said Igor Grosu, the leader of the Party of Action and Solidarity.
Contacted by IPN for details, press officer of the General Inspectorate for Emergency Situations Liliana Pușcașu said that rescuers intervened and took the bodies out. According to the preliminary version, the couple got poisoned with carbon dioxide.
The Inspectorate reiterates the recommendations and warnings regarding the risk of carbon dioxide poisoning during the wine fermentation process. Rescuers emphasize the importance of obeying safety measures to avoid incidents that can endanger people’s health and lives. Specialists urge the population to avoid entering the rooms where the wine fermentation process takes place if there is no proper ventilation. The carbon dioxide produced during fermentation can reduce oxygen levels in the room and cause serious poisoning or even death.
