Dodge in the garage?
This would not have happened in Guatemala. There would not have been a car, a garge, or cold enough weather.
There was phone service but no heat. Priorities, c’mon , man.
I was always amazed and wondered about all the Ethiopians and Somalis who settled in Minneapolis.
Illegal …uh, Latinx. Guatemala mother. Not contacting authorities right away.
I mean, multiples in a home, including adults, no heat, it’s all about being cheap and under the radar. Maybe they didn’t even pay for utilities so there are fewer records.
I’m also wondering if they had no fireplace. Far too many houses today built without FP. Who needs em, right?
No, I doubt this is suicide or murder. Just illegals illegalling.
And why were they trying to stay warm? Global warming!! Where’s Greta?
One could easily argue they are all from the same stupid family! So don’t besmirch all Guatemalans!
Vivamus stultus ignarus mori
Matt Dillon would have run them out of town long ago.
Global warming fail?
It’s only October....
Personal tracking phones need to get smarter as the imported population gets dumber. Cameras are now the size of a dime, so what would it take to add smoke, carbon monoxide, oxygen, alcohol, and other chemical detectors? If the camera and onboard super computer can do spectrometry, it can detect all kinds of things.
You forgot fart detection!
For that three sensors are needed to triangulate the source.
;-)
There was a case in NJ of a guy killing himself in the garage, and when his family tried to get him out they passed out and died from the carbon monoxide. The police are lucky they didn’t pass out.
I remember, years ago, some of dad’s friends died while sleeping in a room with a kerosene heater.
Even to day I will not allow a kerosene heater in the house.
I have also seen two people brain damaged by carbon monoxide poisoning. Both by central heat units that had a leak in the exhaust.
I sleep with a window cracked open about an inch, and have a CO detector, just in case.
Definitely a case for Wyatt Earp.
Many years ago, I was living in a decrepit house with gas wall heaters. The first cold evening one fall, my girlfriend and I lit the heaters and retired. The next morning, we had really bad headaches and generally didn’t feel so good. A technician checked the heaters and found that the one just outside the bedroom door had a cracked manifold. He said we were lucky to wake up, and if the house weren’t so drafty we might not have. I haven’t been a fan of that kind of gas heater ever since.
Let’s not go into the brain-damage issue, if you please.
heating the house wi EXHAUST GAS??? OK...
“Wonder why the house had no heat?”
The house had heat...
It's always the dog under the table.
