Today’s cautionary tale is more a common sense thing: never spend any amount of time in a locked garage, with the engine of the car running, or risk death by carbon monoxide poisoning.
One man from Newark, New Jersey came home to find his wife and her alleged lover dead from apparent carbon monoxide poisoning. It seems that they started getting freaky in the garage, while the engine of the car was running, and they died before they even realized what was happening to them, People Magazine reports.
Kahali Johnson identified one of the victims to the police as his wife, Tameka Hargrave. Sources close to the investigation told the media that the 39-year-old woman was having her car repaired and was sleeping with the mechanic, 59, as some form of “payment” for the hours of work he was putting in. The husband wouldn’t confirm it.
He told reporters that he found both of them dead on the ground. and that he knew from the moment he smelled exhaust that there was no saving them. He wouldn’t even attempt to revive them, but did call 911.
“As I tried to step to open the last garage door, I see the mechanic, he’s laid out,” he said. “She’s just a few feet away, she’s laid out. And pretty much I had to call 911 because, at this time, with that level of emissions, I knew that they were gone.”
Still, the husband doesn’t blame the two for what happened to them. As in, he wouldn’t say they should have known better than to lock themselves in the garage with the car running. The way he sees it, it’s the fault of whoever build the apartment complex because they didn’t install proper alarms.
“They do not have adequate alarm systems, because if there had been an alarm in that garage, people would have been alerted to the fact that it was going on,” he said.
