A schoolboy from St. Petersburg inhaled gas from a cylinder and died. This was reported by the REN TV channel.

According to the source, the tragedy occurred on May 28. A 15-year-old boy inhaled gas from a lighter refill bottle. After this, the young man became ill. Two young men dragged their unconscious friend to his house along the St. Petersburg Highway in the village of Strelna. Already there the teenager stopped showing signs of life, and the doctors who arrived at the scene pronounced him dead.  

Law enforcement officers began an investigation. Based on its results, it turned out that the deceased teenager went for a walk with three friends. During the walk, the group smoked cigarettes and vapes, after which one of the guys suggested breathing in gas from cylinders for refilling lighters.

It is noted that the boy was raised in a complete family.
