They probably died of smoke poisoning.

The bodies of three men were found Sunday in the fisherman near Zalaszentmihály, an investigation launched by police as part of an administrative procedure, Tivadar Takács, a spokesman for the Zala County Police Station, told MTI on Monday.

According to Zalai Hírlap’s online edition, the men’s deaths were likely caused by smoke poisoning. The fishermen were already at the lake on Saturday, presumably wanting to spend the night in a cabin, so they set fire to the wood stove.

The tragedy is being investigated by the police with the participation of firefighters.
