Orlando Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Update: Authorities ID 3 Victims

ORLANDO, FL — Authorities have identified two teens and a woman who apparently died from carbon monoxide poisoning in Orlando following Hurricane Irma.

An Orange County deputy responded to the home on the 5600 block of Eggleston Avenue on Tuesday evening after receiving a 911 call from what sounded like a child, the sheriff's office said. The deputy was overcome by fumes while approaching the home and called for fire rescue.

Firefighters pulled seven people from the home, and three died at the scene. They were identified as Jan Lebron Diaz, 13, Kiara Lebron Diaz, 16, and Desiree Diaz Molina, 34.

Two children, ages 12 and 16, and two adults were taken to a local hospital in various conditions. Williamson described the victims as a multi-generational family.
