At least five people have d!ed following an unprecedented blackout in Spain and Portugal to a standstill.

A family of three – husband, FDR, 81, his wife, AFM, 77, and their disabled son, JFDF, 56 – are among five people who have d!ed since Spain and Portugal went dark.

The married couple and their son were found dead yesterday, April 28, at their home in Taboadela, a town of less than 1,500 in Galicia, northeast Spain.

The father, 81, who required a respirator, his wife, 77, and their disabled son, 56, are believed to have d!ed of carbon monoxide poisoning after a domestic generator or a fuel appliance malfunctioned.

That was tragic. It might happen for a reason. Sometimes we need to utilize our common sense. A generator emits a toxic gas causing their death.

People in these countries are not used to using generators unlike people in my country. It is sad though.

Yes people from these countries are not used to blackouts, there was a similar case like this a few years back, i can't remember the country though.

Honestly they are not used to black out and they don't make provision for such occurrence. May their souls rest in the bossom of the lord.

That's right and with no prior experience it can be difficult to cope unlike my country Nigeria
