MI Mom, Daughter Found Dead In Car From Suspected Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Reports

BYRON TOWNSHIP, MI — Officials suspect carbon monoxide poisoning in the Tuesday death of a mother and daughter in west Michigan, according to reports.

Officers found the 38-year-old mother and her 16-year-old daughter dead inside a vehicle that was parked in a community lot at the Maplewood Mobile Home Park in Bryon Township, reports said.

Investigators said the vehicle had a "strong exhaust smell." They also noticed the floorboards and exhaust system were in poor condition, leading them to believe accidental carbon monoxide poisoning was the cause of death.

Investigators believe the mother and daughter were temporarily sleeping inside their vehicle "due to a condition" at their home. It was unclear exactly what forced them outside their home.

They do not expect any foul play.

Police asked anyone with information to call the sheriff's office at 616-632-6125 or submit a tip online.
