Three people died on Friday after dry ice was poured into a swimming pool at a party in Moscow, Russia, according to the BBC.

Guests of the party reportedly choked and several lost consciousness when they came in contact with the dry ice. Since dry ice is a solid form of carbon dioxide gas, if it's placed in an area without proper ventilation, it can cause people to inhale dangerous amounts of the gas.

It's not immediately clear why the dry ice was poured into the pool at the party venue.

The BBC reported that the ice was intended to cool the swimming pool water after guests exited a sauna and complained about the warm temperature. The Daily Mail and AFP news agency via The Moscow Times reported that the dry ice may have been put into the pool to create visual effects.
