Officials say a carbon monoxide leak in a multiple-family home left a man dead and several people hospitalized.

Police were called to the home in Canonsburg just after 7 a.m. Monday. Officers responding reported a strong odor of natural gas and called the fire department.

When crews went inside, they found the man inside a basement apartment. Occupants in two other apartments were treated at a hospital for suspected carbon monoxide poisoning.

The Washington County coroner says the man died of suspected accidental carbon monoxide poisoning.

On Saturday, a carbon monoxide leak at a duplex in Harrisburg left multiple people hospitalized.

They’re expected to recover.
