Eyewitness accounts suggest that the deceased were sleeping inside the restaurant and were found in the sleeping quarters located above the restaurant. Currently, the Georgian authorities are of the view that a power cut along with an electric generator being switched on had played a role in the incident. The generator was situated in a small space next to the bedrooms and exuded carbon monoxide which eventually led to the poisoning.
