Tragedy strikes North Side as CO2 poisoning claims two lives. The Chicago Tribune reports:
After the first call about two women who became ill at a West Rogers Park apartment building, firefighters checked carbon monoxide levels but found them below dangerous thresholds, according to the Chicago Fire Department.
About five hours later, around 3:30 p.m. on Sunday, another resident fell ill, prompting firefighters to return to the same building on the 2500 block of West North Shore Avenue.
This time, dangerous levels of carbon monoxide were detected in the basement. Rasheeda Akhter, 77, and her granddaughter Zanib Ahmed, 18, who had been the first to fall ill, later died at Swedish Covenant Hospital. The Cook County medical examiner confirmed the cause of death as carbon monoxide poisoning.
Fire officials and Peoples Gas workers discovered that the building’s furnace boilers were not functioning properly and that there was a leak in the exhaust system, according to Fire Department spokesperson Larry Langford.
"Fresh air entered the basement, but the contaminated air rose into the living areas," Langford explained.
