Three Ukrainian residents died from carbon monoxide poisoning after the head of the family tried to exterminate rats in the basement of his home with the help of exhaust fumes from his car.


Quote from the article:

A 71-year-old man, his wife, 77, and their granddaughter were found dead in the basement of their Dnepropetrovsk home after the man attached a hose to the exhaust pipe of his Zaporozhets and put the other end of the hose into a basement window, Pravda reports. After the man started the engine, he went upstairs. Some time later, he decided to return to the basement to see if any rats had perished. Because of the high concentration of exhaust fumes, he lost consciousness.
