A tragic incident has claimed the lives of a family from Ambarawa, Semarang Regency, who were found dead inside their glamping tent at the Posong tourist site in Temanggung, Central Java. Authorities suspect that the victims succumbed to carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning caused by a portable gas stove or fumes generated during a barbecue inside the enclosed tent.
Iptu I Komang Mahendra Deputra, Head of the Criminal Investigation Unit at the Temanggung Police, confirmed that the investigation is centered on the portable gas equipment recovered from the scene. “We are looking at two primary possibilities: emissions from the portable gas stove or the lingering fumes from their barbecue session,” Mahendra stated on Thursday, May 28, 2026. “It appears that after they finished cooking, they fell asleep immediately while the tent remained sealed.”
