Teens And Father Survive Carbon Monoxide Poisoning At Cabin Carbon Monoxide Poisons Boys And Father Teens and a father were minutes from death as Carbon Monoxide filled a family cabin. (KUTV) Teens and a father were minutes from death as Carbon Monoxide filled a family cabin. (KUTV) Carbon Monoxide poisoning nearly killed a father and four boys from Utah County at a family cabin. The three boys went to the cabin with their friend -15-year-old Scotty - to celebrate his birthday. Scotty’s father went along with the teens. On Saturday night a generator under the cabin that powered electricity sent Carbon Monoxide into the rooms. The father and boys were slowly being poisoned to death. Two of the boys passed out and two others were asleep upstairs. The teens described the impact of the deadly gas. "I could talk, but I had no control of my body," one of the boy’s said. Another boy said “you’re just sitting there shaking, you can’t do anything.” Tyson Wendel –one of the boys asleep in the room upstairs – said his grandfather who died a short time ago suddenly came to him in a dream. "He kind of said you need to wake up something is going on downstairs so I sat up," Tyson said. Two boys dragged another friend who passed out downstairs outside the cabin. The father of the 15-year-old boy pulled his son outside. Once outside, one boy with the strength to run went to get help. Doctors said all of them were just minutes away from death. "I thought about the boys and it was my responsibility. How can I tell their parents of this happening," said Scott’s father Bob Lowry. Lowry decided to install Carbon Monoxide detectors in his own home. "I'm protecting my family putting them in my home," he said. Dr. Lindell Weaver from LDS Hospital is a world expert on Carbon Monoxide poisoning. He has sent hundreds of patients into hyperbaric chambers over the years to save their lives. He said every case can be prevented. "It’s very important to have their furnace inspected by a trained individual. Very important to have at least one alarm," said Dr. Weaver.
