Nilantha Sachitha Sampath of Mahiyanganaya, Gayan Chamara Attanayake of Morawaka and Gemunu Jayakody of Gonapala died in a fiery blaze that engulfed the karaoke lounge of a bar in Busan, South Korea on May 05.
As per the investigations it has been found that the fire broke out in one of the 28 rooms of the karaoke lounge on the third floor of the six-story building and customers at the bar were unable to find exits due to the poisonous gases caused by an electric leakage engulfing the building. (niz).
