Springfield, WI – A 60-year-old town of Springfield man died Monday night from what authorities believe could be carbon monoxide poisoning.
The incident was reported at about 9:30 p.m. at 5441 Kalesey Court, which is the address for Don’s Mobile Manor, a mobile home park just off Highway 12 south of Springfield Corners.
Dane County Sheriff’s Office deputies went to the scene for an unconscious male who was not breathing.
“Despite lifesaving efforts performed at the scene, the man was pronounced dead,” said spokeswoman Elise Schaffer.
The unidentified victim had been using a small engine power washer and a heater in an enclosed area with no ventilation, leading investigators to believe he died of carbon monoxide poisoning.
An autopsy was being conducted on Tuesday.
