Two Greek university students died of of carbon monoxide poisoning and another three of their classmates were hospitalized in the central Greek city of Larissa. The five youths had used a makeshift heating stove to warm up their home. With all windows closed, they gradually fell unconscious within hours in the indoors space. They were discovered by a friend who stopped by. Due to the acute debt crisis which has plagued the country since late 2009, many austerity-hit Greeks who have seen their incomes shrinking 20-40 percent in recent years could not afford expensive heating oil this winter and opted for more economical ways of heating, such as wooden stoves. – The complete lexicon of crisis related suicides, Vol. I, 2008-2013, Richard Sluijs
