Five people, including two children, were found dead in a house in Istanbul’s Fatih district today, with the cause of death being a natural gas leak, according to initial reports.

Two women, two children and a man were found dead in an apartment building in Fatih. Ambulances and teams from Istanbul Gas Distribution Industry and Trade Incorporated Company (İGDAŞ) have been dispatched to the area.
