“A Utah couple who run a carpet cleaning business were found dead from carbon monoxide poisoning on Saturday night in a tragic accident while working at a house.
Maria Lopez-Landaderde, 38, and Jose Lito-Solorzano, 44, were found unresponsive in a West Jordan home about 6.30pm.
They were discovered by three people who had been planning to move into the residence and were waiting in a truck with their belongings nearby, according to Fox 13.
Authorities believe the victims were preparing the home for the new tenants when they fell unconscious inside the residence.
Fire department officials said when they arrived, a van appearing to belong to the carpet cleaning company was parked inside the garage.
They said the van was running and the garage door was closed.
‘There was an auxiliary motor that runs that they use as they clean the carpet and it appears that carbon monoxide was getting into the home, causing the two adults to become unconscious and suffer from carbon monoxide poisoning,’ West Jordan Fire Chief Marc Mcelreath told.
The new tenants, who asked not to be identified, said they had been waiting to get approval to begin moving in.”
Whenever inviting a carpet cleaning company to your home homeowners should take precautions to make certain cleaners with truck mounted equipment do not park within 10 feet of a closed garage door. Carbon Monoxide is odorless and deadly.
