1 Dead After High CO Levels Found In Roslindale Home

ROSLINDALE, MA — One person has died after fire officials say high carbon monoxide levels were found in a townhouse style condo unit on Hyde Park Avenue in Roslindale.

Authorities responded to the home in the 700 block of Hyde Park Avenue around 9:45 a.m. and transported three occupants to the hospital. Fire officials say an adult male was pronounced dead at the hospital and two women are being treated for high CO levels.

The stove in the unit has been determined to be one source of CO and city officials are on scene to find additional sources.

"The most likely cause of the CO was a faulty stove and a poorly vented basement furnace," fire officials said.

Officials say the unit is part of a five-unit condo complex and all the units have either missing or deactivated carbon monoxide and smoke detectors.

At least 18 people that live in the complex have been displaced till authorities identify the source of the leak. Once the source is identified, all the units must be in compliance with working smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors.
