Two people in their 80s dead of suspected carbon monoxide exposure
Once inside the home, emergency personal detected high levels of gas and carbon monoxide.
Two people were found dead in their home of suspected carbon monoxide poisoning Saturday night.
They were discovered after Montvale Police and fire department officers conducted a welfare check at a house along 2 Lexington Lane at around 9:30 p.m.
Once inside the home, emergency personal detected high levels of gas and carbon monoxide.
First responders found the 84-year-old male and 83-year-old female unresponsive, and pronounced them dead at the scene.
The building was cleared shortly after.
A preliminary investigation by the Montvale Police and Bergen County Sheriff’s Department Bureau of Criminal Investigation showed the source of the carbon monoxide was from a running vehicle inside the garage.
Police say they do not suspect foul play and that the incident appears to be an accident.
