Authorities say when an ambulance technician entered the store in Carle Place, New York, around 4 a.m. Friday, the carbon monoxide detector he was wearing suddenly sounded off, indicating high levels of the poisonous gas.

Carbon monoxide is odorless and colorless, and prolonged exposure can be fatal.
