The bodies of two youths were recovered from a house in Dhaka's Kamrangirchar area on Wednesday morning.
The dead were Miraj, 20, and his friend Rubel, 18.
Kamrangirchar Police Station OC Mostafizur Rahman said they found Rubel dead into a room of the house beside a salt factory at Koylar Ghat area while Miraj seemed alive.
He was rushed to Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) where the on-duty doctors declared him dead.
"Both of the bodies had signs of vomiting. We primarily suspected they ate or drank something and died of poisoning. The house belonged to Miraz and he was alone as his parents went to their Munshiganj village home. We will investigate the incident," the police official added.
Neighbour Tofael Ahmed said, "I heard the news of death of youths at 10 am and, later, went to the spot. There I found the youths lying on a bed. The locals took Miraj to the hospital with the help of police thinking that Miraj was alive."
