Ángela Gil, 47, has died in Gijón after accidentally inhaling a cleaning product that she was using in her house on Alarcón street, in Gijón.
Police sources have confirmed that the death occurred last Saturday afternoon.
The woman was using a pipe plunger in the kitchen that caused a chemical reaction in the sink and when she inhaled the gases she suffered respiratory failure, according to what the newspaper El Comercio published today, detailing that perhaps there was a “type of chemical reaction according to how blackened the sink was.”
Ángela was able to go out to the landing of the stairs to ask the evcinos for help at around 3:15 p.m. last Saturday, where she was found, according to police sources.
At first, the health services managed to revive and stabilize her, but the woman died shortly after, the sources added. At the Cabueñes Hospital they confirmed her death.
The woman’s family is studying the possibility of taking legal action against the manufacturer of the product, which is sold on drugstore shelves, according to El Comercio.
Ángela Gil Alvarez was sister Lorena, former spokesperson for Podemos Asturies in the General Board of the Principality of Asturias, the Asturian Parliament.
Just 24 hours before the fatal accident, Ángela, an educator at APTA’s Vistaverde Center for socio-labour inclusion, had turned 47 on April 21 and had celebrated with her family, including her twenty-something son, according to El Comercio.
