First responders found two unconscious occupants inside an apartment building in Regina on Friday due to carbon monoxide poisoning.
A GoFundMe campaign has been launched to support the victim’s family following a deadly carbon monoxide incident at a Regina apartment building last week.
According to the GoFundMe page, 11-year-old Henry Losco died as a result of a carbon monoxide leak inside the building. The fundraiser says the family had moved into the apartment just weeks before the incident.
Regina Fire and Protective Services was called to the 1800 block of Albert Street just before 8 p.m. on Friday after reports of two unconscious occupants inside a multi-family building.
Fire crews and Regina EMS provided emergency care at the scene. One individual was transported to hospital in critical condition, while the second was pronounced dead at the scene.
During the response, firefighters detected dangerous levels of carbon monoxide, prompting the incident to be upgraded to include the hazardous materials team.
Fire officials later confirmed the source of the carbon monoxide was linked to mechanical work being done on service equipment in the building.
“There was some mechanical work being done in the building on some of the service equipment, and that piece of service equipment was indeed identified as the source of carbon monoxide release,” Chief Layne Jackson of Regina Fire and Protective Services said.
By Saturday afternoon, all residents affected by the incident were cleared to return to their homes.
