ROCHESTER HILLS, Mich. — A couple was found dead inside their home in Rochester Hills Friday afternoon, according the Oakland County Sheriff's Office.
Police tell us they were dispatched just before 3 p.m. on Friday (Nov. 18) to a home in the 1100 block of Avon Road, for reports of a couple who was unconscious and not breathing.
When they got to the home, officials say they found 74-year-old Frances Kamulski and 75-year-old Paul Louis Kamulski dead.
The sheriff's office says the cause of death is still pending, but that fire officials found that the carbon monoxide level in the home was 185 parts per million, which is more than twice the lethal reading of 85 ppm.
Officials say a carbon monoxide detector was found in the basement but the batteries had been removed.
“This is a horrific preventable tragedy to lose two people,” Sheriff Michael Bouchard said in a press release. “We always encourage people to check their smoke detectors and their carbon monoxide detectors each time we change the clocks for daylight savings."
The case remains under investigation.
