The person who died from carbon monoxide poisoning in a pizza shop in Be’er Sheva on Thursday was identified on Friday morning as the owner of the store, Chaim Attias, z’l, 66.
A preliminary investigation by Israel’s Fire and Rescue Services revealed that the chimney of the pizza oven had become blocked, causing the gas to leak into the store.
Apart from Attias, z’l, 17 people were evacuated from the scene to Soroka Hospital in Be’er Sheva, including his son, Misha Attias. Misha was transferred to Assaf HaRofeh Hospital to receive treatment in an oxygen pressure chamber.
A witness to the scene told Ynet that he initially thought a terror attack had occurred when he heard people screaming.
“I ran to the scene and I saw people falling on the floor one after the other. It was very scary.”

I got a haircut at my barber only a few hours before this happened. My barber is 2 or 3 stores away from this pizza place.
I don’t understand why you’re right, and apparently non-religious person z’l maximum that I would write would be a’h.
Since you “apparently” know absolutely nothing about the niftar, perhaps you should keep your opinions to yourself.
