This video shows the moment one man dies after dry ice was thrown into a swimming pool at a party in Russia.

The footage shows one man unable to breathe as his fellow partygoers enjoy the dry ice effect.

Two other people died while others at the party are reported to have suffered chemical burns.

The three deaths have been linked to carbon dioxide poisoning after the dry ice was mixed with the pool water.

Insta blogger Ekaterina, who was wrongly reported as having been killed, posted: “I am alive, I am behind the doors of an intensive care ward.

“I don’t know who died.”
