DALLAS (WBAP/KLIF News) — Dallas officials believe four people, including two young boys, died in an Oak Cliff home from carbon monoxide poisoning.
WFAA reports the bodies of two construction workers and one of the workers’ twin two-year-old sons were discovered Sunday morning in a home the men were renovating on the 1400 block of Owega Avenue.
Dallas Fire-Rescue spokesman Jason Evans said they believe the men brought a gas generator inside the home. “The house mostly likely wasn’t vented, the windows weren’t open,” Evans said.
The victims were discovered by the homeowner, who had given them permission to stay in the house while they did their work. He told WFAA the men were friends from Honduras and that he had known them for months.
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas called “the silent killer”. Evans said the gas levels in the home read more than 200 parts per million.
