Candia, NH — A man was found dead in a garage where he apparently was overcome by carbon monoxide, authorities said.
The man, whose name was not immediately released, was found by a neighbor inside the detached garage Saturday morning, New Hampshire State Fire Marshal Paul J. Parisi, and Candia Police Chief Michael McGillen said in a joint news release.
Firefighters found increased levels of carbon monoxide inside the garage along with a generator that appeared to have been operating after power outages in the neighborhood on Friday night, according to the news release.
Parisi urged all New Hampshire residents to have a working carbon monoxide detector in their homes and be sure generators are properly ventilated, ideally 10 feet away from any opening to the structure.
