A tragic fire in Tălmaciu claimed the lives of two young siblings, aged 2 and 4, due to a mattress igniting from an electric radiator. Authorities have initiated a criminal investigation for culpable homicide and destruction. The children were found unconscious in a smoke-filled room, and despite resuscitation efforts, they could not be saved. The incident occurred while their mother was in another room, and the family was renting the property. Local officials noted that the family was not registered with social services, and the investigation will determine the circumstances of the fire and potential accountability.
