what I never understand with some people, it is always stated all over the media to not have these things burning in your home because of the danger of inhaling the CO fumes. Yet some people still persists.  It was very very stupid of them to be going to sleep with that thing running. What about just using electric heaters.

This is really sad.  Peter was a good man.   Is Paul okay?

I know Amral , even after living so many years in a "big country". But still continues to happen. Here on St.Maarten , we live in the Hurricane zone and every season from June to November the Government ensures that the public at large is forewarned of all the dangers and does and donots. Sad and very unfortunate. Our prayers are with the family.

I heard this Morning . its very sad . I know the family very well We always goes to both Brothers Restarunt . his mom only die like two weeks ago .

what a loss for the family .

 We have lots of good memories with this family .

R.I.P Peter. SITA and son Terry .

Apparently carbon monoxide detectors are useless since they apparently cannot forewarn.

Could it be that the CM detector was defective? I have had to replace mine after about 5-7 years. They don't last forever. Paint fumes would affect them too.

Also, Skelly, all CM detectors are not created equal. Some are inferior and some are superb.

I am the expert in these things we sell lots

Replace every 10 years max, change battery every year and vacuum the outside or blow them out often. There is no knock off on these things, Govt have strict guidelines. These things are very loud when they go off, they must have had furniture infront to block it

The CBC report says: "Police say a man arrived home at this Brampton, Ont., house to find carbon monoxide alarms ringing and five members of his family unconscious."

I buy the Kidde CM detectors and fire extinguishers. I think a fire extinguisher is another safety equipment that the home owner should take very seriously.

I live near a fireman who told me to hook up my smoke alarm and CM alarm to an external siren and the fire station.

 My condolences to the family. I knew the dad and mom. I knew the dad better because  he  class mates with my sister's late  husband in primary school. 

Its was a great loss . We now come home from the wake so much people .

They had lots of Pandits 

I will  be going to the Funerals .

well as the Pandit says we know how Peter. Sita and Terry die we are not sure how we are going to die? 

Shanaz, who is the officiating Pundit?

Or their fire place. They have one.

How was the funeral?

It's massive. I had to attend another puja earlier. So I went there a bit late. I couldn't get in to view. I will go again in the morning. I estimate it will take one, about 1 to 2 hours to be able to view. Tomorrow it will be from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM, with possible extension of time.

Skeldon,

My wife and daughter attended around 7:00 PM. They said that the crowd was huge. My mamoo's wife from NY is related to the deceased. 

Cars filled parking lots around the funeral home since it is in an industrial area.

Very sad for the Guyanese community.
