Foam party at luxury resort kills three in Turkey

The power leak that caused the deaths occurred when the foam machine operator slid and fell, dropping the device, Mehmet Yilmaz, manager of the five-star hotel in the southern province of Antalya, the agency said.

Two of the dead were tourists from Israel, while the third was a 20-year-old Turkish hotel employee, it said, and added the operator of the foam machine, a Turk, and a Kazakh man were hospitalized in a serious condition.

Foam parties have become popular in hotels and clubs at Turkey's Mediterranean coast, where millions of foreigners spend their summer vacations each year.
