At least 22 people are reported to have been found dead at a nightclub in South Africa.

Emergency services were called in the early hours of Sunday to the Enyobeni Tavern in Scenery Park, on the edge of East London, Eastern Cape province, according to the Daily Dispatch news site.

Eastern Cape police spokesperson Brigadier Tembinkosi Kinana told the Newzroom Africa rolling news channel in the country that young people were among the dead.

Reuters reported him saying they were aged between 18 and 20, but there are also reports they may have been younger, with AP saying they were reportedly attending a party to celebrate the end of winter school exams.

Siyanda Manana, a spokesperson for the Eastern Cape provincial health department, told Reuters: "We are going to immediately be embarking on autopsies so we can know the probable cause of death. We are talking 22 bodies right now."

A faulty gas heater could do it also. Many years ago, my girlfriend and I lit the gas wall heater on one of the first cold nights that winter. We had really nasty headaches the next morning, and the heater sounded different, so we shut it off and called an HVAC guy. He told us that the heater’s manifold was cracked in such a way that CO was being released into the house, and that we were lucky to have woken up at all. Good thing that place was so drafty.

A radio report this morning blamed gas from a malfunctioning heater. Very sad. They were celebrating the end of winter term and exams.

In the British press “South Asian” means Pakistani (and Indian).

Good idea to carry a CO2 detector on road trips. Easy, and could save your life.

Good point, though I think you mean “CO detector”. We have them in our house, of course, but we do travel sometimes.

Seems like a crowded nightclub wouldn’t need any heat with low temps in the 50s. But could have been leaking gas while off.
