    Two Russian directors boil to death in sauna

    Two Russian men died in a sauna after jumping into a plunge pool that had accidentally been heated to boiling point, investigators and media said.

    The two men jumped into the pool to cool down after sweating in a steam room.

    A third man tried to save the victims but was unable to pull the men out of the boiling water, Komsomolskaya Pravda tabloid reported today.

    The two men's bodies were discovered in the sauna in the city of Kirov in central Russia on February 18 and "their death was caused by overheating", the Kirov regional investigative committee confirmed in a statement.

    The water in the pool was "overheated due to an error by one of the victims," investigators said.

    Saunas usually include a cold plunge pool.

    The men were named by investigators as the director of an old people's home and the director of a residential home for people with psychiatric problems.

    It wasn't the sauna. It was the plunge pool. But, I agree, it shouldn't be possible for the temp to get that high.

    The fact that it can get to boiling temperatures is insane.

    That's a terrible way to die, although getting eaten alive by a shark beats that.

    Yes, being boiled while getting your anus eaten by an eel.

    Being skinned alive would suck worse. Or eaten alive by ants. Or nagged to death about taking out the garbage. ;)

    Anything involving a man's genitals and severe pain is worse than death.

    Does anyone else sound like this was an assassination? Rigging a plunge pool to boiling temp.

    Given what I've seen and heard about Russian business tactics, I wouldn't be surprised. Good call.

    The title of the article made it seem as if they got trapped in a dry sauna and eventually died. A thought that always pops into my head whenever I'm in one of those
