In Central Java, Indonesia, a family of four was found dead in their tent. The incident occurred at an altitude of about 1,823 meters, with thick fog hampering the recovery of bodies. Police are investigating two main theories: carbon monoxide poisoning from a gas stove used inside the tent, or food poisoning. Food samples have been sent for lab analysis; the investigation is ongoing.
