Carbon Monoxide Kills Maryland Couple | Washington DC News

A heartbreaking tragedy in Boyds, Maryland, claims the lives of 91-year-old Ceferino Jarin and his wife, 89-year-old Elizabeth Jarin, after they succumbed to deadly carbon monoxide poisoning. The couple was found unresponsive when family members checked on them after a home health aide couldn’t reach them. What started as a mistaken smoke alarm was actually a carbon monoxide detector — and a car idling in the attached garage sealed their fate. Carbon monoxide levels inside the home soared to 2,000 parts per million — far beyond the safe limit of 5 ppm in most homes. Authorities are sounding the alarm: keep detectors working, maintain gas appliances, never run a car in a garage, and inspect heating systems regularly — because a silent, odorless killer can strike without warning.
