Charlotte, NC- Authorities are checking if carbon monoxide poisoning killed a woman found dead in her Charlotte home along with her dog and cat.
Police say family members found the body of the woman and her pets Saturday morning in one unit of a duplex.
Since the dog and cat were also dead, investigators thought it might be carbon monoxide poisoning.
But the victim’s mother lives in the unit next door and told The Charlotte Observer that authorities didn’t find toxic levels of the odorless gas in either unit and said more investigation will be needed.
Family members told the newspaper the victim’s 12-year-old daughter found her mother dead after spending the night with her grandmother.
