Coroner says carbon monoxide suspected in deaths of four people in B.C.
ASHCROFT, B.C. — British Columbia’s coroners service suspects carbon monoxide killed a family of four in their home in the province’s Interior.
Toxicology tests were underway and the coroners service said it expects the results later this week. The agency did not identify the source of the carbon monoxide gas.
A woman who died alongside her two boys and spouse — whose names have not been released — was remembered Monday by Ashcroft Mayor Jack Jeyes as a soft-spoken, happy person.
Jeyes said he employed the woman as a housekeeper and that she lived with her family in the nearby community of Venables Valley.
