Mom, daughter die in sauna after freak accident
The decision to unwind in a sauna proved deadly for a mother-daughter pair.
The two women, ages 65 and 45, died after they became trapped in the sauna Sunday when the door handle broke at a home in Jincin, Czech Republic, according to the Guardian.
“The owner thought they were taking too long to come out so she went to check and found them lying on the floor,” police spokeswoman Iva Kormosova said in a statement.
Police said the mom and daughter had been in the sauna for around 90 minutes before they were discovered by the friend.
“They tried to break the window on the door but failed,” said Kormosova.
Emergency responders were called to the scene, where the women were pronounced dead.
