Female in her 90s died in a house. Carbon monoxide poisoning during evacuation? Kagoshima Tanegashima September 8 4:56
On the afternoon of the 7th, in a house in Tanegashima, Kagoshima prefecture, a woman in her 90s who was evacuated to a relative's house in preparation for typhoon No. 10 was found dead.
A private generator was placed inside the room, and two relatives had collapsed unconsciously, so the police believe that carbon monoxide poisoning may have occurred.
After 1 pm on the 7th, I was unable to contact Kyoko Kono (94), who lives in Minamitane Town, Kagoshima Prefecture, and my relatives reported to the fire department.
According to the police, Mr. Kono was evacuating to a nearby man's house in preparation for the approach of Typhoon No. 10, and police and fire department found Mr. Kono who was falling at the house, but he died there. It was confirmed.
Also, he and his wife had fallen in the house, and his wife was unconscious, and he was unconscious.
When the police and fire department arrived, the windows and entrances were locked, and a private generator was found in the room, and it smelled of gasoline.
According to the Kyushu Electric Power Company, there was a power outage in the surrounding area from the evening of the 6th to the morning of the 7th, so it is possible that the police may have caused carbon monoxide poisoning depending on the situation at the site. I am investigating the situation.
