Suspected Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Claims Life in Brandenburg Home

A 43-year-old woman was found dead, and another resident injured, after exposure to toxic gas from a generator in Wuthenow.

A 43-year-old woman was discovered deceased in the basement of a single-family home in Wuthenow, Brandenburg, by firefighters responding to the scene.
Authorities believe carbon monoxide poisoning from a malfunctioning backup generator is the likely cause of death.
The woman reportedly sustained burns while refueling the generator, with gasoline possibly spilling onto the motor during the process.
A second resident, a 69-year-old woman, was injured and transported to a hospital for treatment.
Carbon monoxide is a highly toxic gas produced by incomplete combustion and can cause rapid unconsciousness and death without proper ventilation.
