FROM THE ESSEX COUNTY PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE :
Newark – Acting Essex County Prosecutor Carolyn A. Murray announced today that the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office is in the early stages of investigating possible carbon monoxide deaths. Two people were discovered dead this morning at 59 Dodd Street in East Orange.
They are believed to be a young mother and her daughter. We are in the process of confirming their names and ages.
The preliminary investigation indicates the power had been shut off yesterday by the utility company and a gas generator was being used without proper ventilation. At this time there is no sign of trauma or foul play.
