Five Die From Gas Poisoning In Tragic Home Tragedy
Five family members perished from possible carbon monoxide poisoning after gas escaped through an open chimney and furnace vent in their Cadix farm home. Evidence notes an open pipe hole, a missing transfer, and a direct path of fumes to the upstairs room where the victims slept. The family, including a young couple married in 1917, slept as the gas filled their beds with no signs of struggle.
