Two Omanis found dead in vehicle

Muscat: Two nationals were found dead in their vehicle at Salalah in Dhofar governorate on Wednesday, according to the official twitter account of Royal Oman Police (ROP).
Explaining the cause of death, the police said they died as a result of inhaling carbon monoxide from their parked vehicle.
In an earlier incident, the body of a 14-year-old Omani boy, who reportedly drowned near Al Seeb, was recovered while his friend aged 14 years was rescued by the Royal Oman Police.
Coastguards received a distress call on Wednesday from a citizen who reportedly saw the two young boys heading towards the sea for swimming in Sur Al Hadid area for more than half an hour without coming back.
“An Omani national who saw them swimming, alerted others when they didn’t turn up after a long time around 6 in the morning,” sources said.
Immediately, rescue teams were rushed to the site which found the first boy and gave him the first aid. He was transferred to Sultan Qaboos University Hospital, while the other was found dead.
