Mileto B&B explosion and investigation

Overview

The death toll from the August 25 explosion and fire at the Villa Mary B&B in Mileto, Calabria, has risen to three. The final victim, 10-year-old Ema, has passed away at a specialized burn center in Bari after suffering extensive second and third-degree burns across her entire body.

Her death concludes the tragedy for the Slovenian family vacationing in the region. She is preceded by her father, 48-year-old Izidor Kobolt, who died on August 27 at a burn center in Palermo, and her mother, 44-year-old Petra Jamnik Kobolt, who passed away in Catania.

The blast occurred around 8:30 PM on August 25 while the family was preparing for dinner. During the initial moments of the incident, off-duty carabinieri at the property reportedly attempted to assist the family using fire extinguishers.

The Vibo Valentia Prosecutor's Office has seized the premises. Investigators, including Carabinieri and firefighters, continue to work to determine the cause of the blast, specifically examining whether a gas leak or a gas cylinder explosion was responsible. The inquiry is focusing on the condition of the facility's gas system and the sequence of events leading to the incident.

In response to the tragedy, the Slovenian municipality of Ravne na Koroškem has declared three days of mourning to honor the family.
