So far, the cause of Hlun Solo's death remains unclear. Foreign media report that he died as if he was sleeping, with no signs of physical assault. This has led many to speculate that he might have inhaled sulfur gas from the nearby hot springs around his lodging or that some gas leak caused toxic inhalation. Researching past news reveals that a mass carbon monoxide poisoning incident occurred in Georgia on 14 December 2024.

Preliminary investigations by the Georgian Ministry of Internal Affairs indicated that none of the deceased showed signs of assault or violent injuries. It is believed the cause was carbon monoxide poisoning from a generator operated near the bedrooms after the building's electrical system failed.

Experts explain that carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas, earning it the nickname 'silent killer.' It results from incomplete combustion of fuels, such as engines, generators, gas stoves, or heating devices. When inhaled, it interferes with oxygen transport in the bloodstream, causing unconsciousness and potentially death, especially in enclosed spaces with poor ventilation.

Although this incident differs from the Thai YouTuber's death, it is another tragic example highlighting the dangers of carbon monoxide and the critical importance of safely using combustion-producing equipment inside buildings or accommodations.
