Neighbors told police that the couple had been using a generator after they lost power, WESH reported. The generator was reportedly inside of a shed connected to the house.
The station reported that the medical examiner believes the couple died from carbon monoxide poisoning, but a cause of death won’t officially be known until the completion of an autopsy in a few weeks. There were no signs of foul play.
Officials warn people using gas generators to use them in a ventilated area outside their homes, and away from any doors or windows.
