Fire
The fire broke out during a show that night that involved a performer with flames. He accidentally set his clothing alight; this then spread to a nearby container of spirits and from here the nightclub's entire stage was rapidly engulfed.
According to a prosecutor, the fact that the deceased died almost immediately indicated carbon monoxide poisoning was likely. Those killed included two Bulgarian nationals.<ref name="BBC-init"/>
