One dead, eight sickened in apparent carbon monoxide poisoning in Cleveland -police

The cause of a carbon monoxide leak near Cleveland was under investigation on Saturday, a day after an elderly woman was found dead and eight people were taken to hospital from an apartment building where deadly levels of the gas were detected, police said. The poisoning occurred in a 278-unit apartment building in East Cleveland, part of metropolitan Cleveland, on Friday evening. As police evacuated the building they discovered the body of 79-year-old Barbara Kelley in one of the apartments, according to the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner's office. The official cause of death for Kelley has not been determined, but the East Cleveland fire department found "deadly levels of carbon monoxide in certain pockets of the building," said Lt. William Mitchell, spokesman for the East Cleveland police.
