At least three people from the same family in Taboadela, Spain, died in an incident linked to a massive power outage that plunged Spain and Portugal into chaos on Monday. Authorities suspect carbon monoxide poisoning from a generator may be the cause. Additional deaths are under investigation, including a woman in Madrid killed in a fire likely sparked by a candle during the blackout, and another in Valencia possibly due to her ventilator losing power. The outage disrupted metro systems, traffic lights, card payments, and mobile networks across Spain, Portugal, parts of France, and Andorra. The cause remains under investigation. (PC: BBC)
