The bodies of 11 foreigners and one Georgian national were found in a sleeping area above a restaurant in Gudauri, the largest and highest ski resort in the former Soviet state, according to officials.

Police said "preliminary tests do not indicate any trace of violence on the bodies" and it appeared to be an accident, the AFP news agency reported.
