“The owner thought they were taking too long to come out so she went to check and found them lying on the floor,” police spokeswoman Iva Kormosova said in a statement.
“The handle on the sauna door broke and the women were trapped. They tried to break the window on the door but failed,” Kormosova continued.
Emergency services were called and pronounced the women dead at the scene.
