UPDATE: Two Dead in Freedom Carbon Monoxide Poisoning, Identified

UPDATE: The two people who died from a carbon monoxide leak in Freedom two weeks ago have been identified as 31-year-old Cansheng Zhao and 31-year-old Bolin Zhao, both of Brooklyn, New York.

ORIGINAL STORY:

Two are dead and two more hospitalized after a carbon monoxide poisoning leak at 555 Belfast Road in Freedom this morning, Oct. 22.

The Waldo County Sheriff’s Office says a caller reported there was a possible propane leak and said there were four people inside the home.

The incident is under investigation, but they say a propane-fired boiler that was not properly ventilated appears to be the cause.

CBS 13, WGME reports that in May that there was a raid at the address as part of an investigation into an illegal marijuana growing operation.
