ALPINE TOWNSHIP, Mich. — FOX 17 learned new information Saturday after three people were found dead inside an Alpine Township home Friday.
Alpine Township Fire Deputy Chief Jeremy Kelly says a faulty boiler in the home caused the carbon monoxide leak.
It happened around 2:30 p.m. Friday at a home on Stage Avenue NW.
An 86-year-old man and his 81-year-old wife were found dead in the home, along with their 61-year-old son.

The Kent County Sheriff’s Office says the Medical Examiner’s Office will determine the official causes of death, but firefighters say they found high levels of carbon monoxide in the home while responding.
