HOUSTON – Two Houston men may have been victims of a generator death.
Houston police said 20-year-old Francisco Garcia and 32-year-old German Rojas had secured their mobile home at 14100 Del Papa by covering the windows with tin. They then placed their generator inside the home to provide power after last week’s hurricane.
Both victims then started the generator and went to their rooms.
On Monday, Garcia’s brother went to the residence and found both Rojas and Garcia dead.
Police are investigating the deaths, but think they may been caused by carbon monoxide poisoning from the generator.
Sad. I heard earlier that a man died sleeping next to one.
