Eight Indian tourists, hailing from Kerala, died while undergoing treatment at a hospital in Nepal's capital Kathmandu on Tuesday. The tourists were earlier found unconscious at a resort in central Nepal, news agencies reported.

According to Kathmandu police, all eight of the tourists had been staying at a single room in the resort and had turned on a gas heater at night to tackle the cold. The initial probe suggests that the cause of death might be suffocation as a result of that.

Makwanpur Superintendent of Police (SP) Sushil Singh Rathore told news agency ANI that the deceased tourists consist of four adults and four children. Though the identities of the deceased are yet to be ascertained, it has been confirmed that they were part of a group of 15 people who were visiting Daman, which is a tourist destination near Kathmandu.

"The group had checked in at the hotel at 9 pm on Monday. An investigation is underway," the SP added.

A postmortem of the bodies will be conducted on Tuesday, the police officer said.
