Authorities have announced the autopsy results of the two 25-year-old hunters who were discovered dead in a remote forest earlier this week.
In a press conference today, investigators confirmed that both men’s bodies contained trace amounts of an unusual chemical compound. The substance, identified as a rare type of toxin commonly found in certain wild plants and contaminated water sources, is now considered a potential factor in their sudden deaths.
“Forensic experts are still conducting toxicology tests to determine the exact concentration and whether the substance alone could have been fatal,” police said. “We are also examining the area where the bodies were found to see if this compound is present in the environment.”
Authorities emphasized that there were no signs of foul play, but urged local residents and hikers to avoid the area until the investigation is complete.
The discovery sheds new light on what may have happened to the two experienced hunters and raises questions about possible contamination in the region’s water or vegetation.
