Minä luulen, että nuo saksalaiset miehet joivat aika paljon viinaa ennen kuin he menivät saunaan.

If you can not understand that here is a Google translation:

I was wondering if there could have been a quick flashover (from pure vodka) that didn't leave burn marks but consumed enough oxygen for heavily intoxicated men to pass out from oxygen deficiency before reacting to the danger -- not to the flash itself, but to the more subtle danger from a drop in oxygen level. You can fall asleep from that without sustaining direct and detectable injury.

But as they said, the alkoholilöylyt were probably incidental, like a one-eyed man falling asleep and dying in the sauna.
As he persisted, I was obliged to tootle him gently at first and then, seeing no improvement, to trumpet him vigorously with my horn.
