The people I was with and I lost a good elderly couple last year because the two of them accidentally left their car running in the garage and forgot to turn it off.
The exhaust fumes leaked into the air handler hanging from the ceiling in the garage and slowly killed them while they were eating their night meal in the residing room. They were found the following day by their daughter when she went over to visit them. Most of the neighborhood went to their joint funeral and both of us were all saddened by the event. The aged guy was one of my preferred people in the section because he showed me how to trim my trees separate from getting on unsafe ladders. He even lent me his tree trimming tools until I bought some for myself. After that he showed me how to service my grass mower motor because he heard me struggling with it one day. My father was in and out of my life when I was young and I didn’t get a opportunity to learn a lot of these skills. In some ways the guy was a little bit like a surrogate father to me. After that disaster happened, I got seriously paranoid about gas appliances and carbon monoxide. I knew that carbon monoxide is both pale white and smellless so you could get killed by it if you’re not using special electronic carbon monoxide detectors. I owe my life to that lesson because my detector woke me up out of a dead sleep the other night. If I hadn’t gotten paranoid about carbon monoxide following their passing, I absolutely wouldn’t be alive this month to talk about it.
