Excerpt:

A severe cold spell has killed 38 people in the Romanian capital Bucharest since December 10, the head of the Forensic Institute told the Mediafax news agency on Monday.

The majority of those killed were homeless people, Dan Dermengiu added.

He said another 58 people died a "sudden death" in the capital during the same period and "the cold played an important role in a third of those cases".

Meanwhile, 11 people have died of carbon monoxide poisoning in the past month due to faulty heating installations, he said.
