Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Maryland - Neighbors were shocked after carbon monoxide poisoning killed a father and his seven children in their one-story Maryland Eastern Shore home Monday. The 8 victims of the carbon monoxide poisoning Maryland were reportedly poisoned by accident in their sleep from a gas-powered generator after utility disconnected a stolen meter at their rental home, according to the Baltimore Sun.
The sight of police removing the eight bodies from the scene of the carbon monoxide poisoning Maryland Monday afternoon was disheartening, and onlookers consoled each other on Antioch Avenue and Beckford Avenue as they gathered to witness their removal.
According to Delmarva Power, it did not cut off the family's electricity because of their bills, but rather it was for their own welfare. They reportedly discovered the illegal connection on Mar. 25 and disconnected the family's power for safety reasons.
A police statement said only that the cause of the deaths are still under investigation. The victims of the carbon monoxide poisoning Maryland were identified the victims as an adult and his seven children - boys Cameron, 13, and Zycheim, 7; and girls Tynijuiza, 15; Tykira, 12; Tybree, 10; Tyania, 9; and Tybria, 6.
The children's mother was identified as Tyisha Chambers, 36, and she had already been notified of the deaths, reported DelmarvaNow.
The food service supervisor at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore of the adult victim of the carbon monoxide poisoning Maryland said he didn't come into work Saturday. She added that he would generally call if that were the case, so this gave her cause for concern. Although she later filed a report with the police, she said she didn't expect the carbon monoxide poisoning Maryland to be what happened.
The adult's victim's stepfather, Lloyd Edwards, told The Associated Press that the Rodney Todd, 36 bought a generator after the power was shut off to the home in Princess Anne.
"It was just disbelief. It's so hard. How can you understand something like this?" said Edwards of the carbon monoxide poisoning Maryland. "He was an outstanding dad. ... To keep his seven children warm, he bought a generator, and the carbon monoxide consumed them."
Officers stood by and investigators went through the house Monday while neighbors and bystanders watched the scene of the carbon monoxide poisoning Maryland, according to Fox News.
On Tuesday, the power company has been subpoenaed to document exactly when it cut off power to the home.
According to Maryland's law, utilities are not allowed to terminate electric service for non-payment of bills from Nov. 1 through Mar. 31 without an affidavit filed to the Public Service Commission.
There was reportedly no foul play in the carbon monoxide poisoning Maryland. A generator with no gasoline was found in the kitchen but electricity to the home was turned off and officers are now looking into when that began.
Spokesman Matt Likovich for Delmarva Power would not determine whether the power to the home had indeed been cut off. He added the carbon monoxide poisoning Maryland is under investigated.
