Running Generator indoors - 3 dead
Three young men were found dead in their home in Hyattsville on Sunday morning, and investigators suspect that they were killed by carbon monoxide from a gas-fueled generator powering their home, authorities said.
One by one, the bodies of Henry A. Gonzalez, 18; his brother, Edward K. Gonzalez, 20; and their friend, Elon Jones, 21, were taken out of the home on a stretcher and loaded into officials' sport-utility vehicles as friends and family members sobbed and hugged one another. The men had apparently gotten the generator Saturday.
"It's tragic," said Marvin Lopez, 19, a close friend. "It's unbelievable."
The home had been without power since Thursday, when the utility company cut it off because of unpaid bills, according to authorities, friends and family members. The home, in the 5600 block of 38th Avenue, had been foreclosed on, and the men were planning to move by the end of the month, family members said.
