Report: Police Investigating 'Untimely' Death of Fairfield Man Found Dead in Garage

Fairfield police are investigating the untimely death of 51-year-old resident Carlson Martin, whose body was discovered by police Monday morning on the floor of his garage at his Brookfield Avenue home, according to the Fairfield Citizen.

The Citizen reports that police were doing a welfare check on Martin at the request of one of his sisters who was concerned because she hadn’t seen or heard from him since late Saturday night.

Police said an odor of carbon monoxide was evident when they approached the garage, according to the Citizen, and they found Martin on the floor between a generator and a cabinet. Martin’s classic Mustang was in the garage with keys turned to the “on” position but it wasn’t running when police arrived, according to the Citizen.

Police told the Citizen that foul play is not suspected at this time.
