The severe Texas winter storm left a mother and her young daughter dead as they attempted to stay warm. The pair died from carbon monoxide poisoning after running their car in the garage to generate heat.
Houston Police Department officials tweeted that their officers responded to a home on the city’s west side where a family was impacted by carbon monoxide poisoning. When the officers made entry to the home, they found two adults and two children in distress.
Mid West officers and HFD were dispatched to 8300 La Roche on a welfare check. Upon making entry they found two adults and two children affected by carbon monoxide poisoning. The adult female and female child did not survive. The adult male and male child were transported.
