Fort Worth, TX (AHN) – Officials say an elderly couple using a charcoal grill to heat their home while they slept were found dead Sunday of apparent carbon monoxide poisoning.

Firefighters discovered the bodies of Clarence Johnson, 86, and Lottie Johnson, 95, in their bedroom after a neighbor noticed smoke and called 911.

Lt. Kent Worley says the grill overturned and burned the floor, causing very little damage to the home and leaving all the utilities intact.

Overnight temperatures dropped to the low 20’s.
