A while the woman and her 16-year-old son died, the father of the family was admitted to intensive care, in serious condition after what investigators are examining as a possible poisoning scenario involving household products used to smoke. The incident occurred in the Segovian town of Carbonero de Ahusín, according to an inquiry led by the Civil Guard.
In official briefings obtained by EFE on Tuesday, sources from the Sub-Government Committee confirmed that the mother passed away last Sunday, and the boy died on Monday afternoon, while the father remained in Segovia Hospital in critical condition. The statements emphasize that these events are being treated as a tragedy with no confirmed intent of violence at this stage.
The Civil Guard denied that the deaths were violent or deliberate. A careful perimeter has been established around the family’s residence, and investigators have cordoned off the area affecting 244 registered residents in Carbonero de Ahusín, a locality within the municipality of Armuña, located about 20 kilometers from Segovia’s capital. Local authorities stress the need for a thorough, cautious approach as the community processes the shock of the incident.
The leading hypothesis under examination is poisoning resulting from the use of common products that may have been intended for disinfection or cleaning within the home. Experts are evaluating whether such substances could have caused a toxic exposure, paying close attention to the household’s storage habits and the timeline of symptoms observed by relatives and first responders.
The case is being handled by the Court of First Instance and Order No. 1 of Santa María la Real de Nieva in Segovia. An autopsy on the decedent will aim to determine the precise cause of death and contribute to a clearer understanding of the sequence of events surrounding the family’s collapse. Law enforcement officials reiterate their commitment to transparency as findings emerge, while authorities ask residents to respect the ongoing investigations and privacy concerns for those affected.
