A man who was working in an electrical utility room at LAX, when he and three co-workers were exposed to carbon dioxide fumes in October, has died at a hospital, his family announced.
Los Angeles Fire Department officials said the carbon dioxide was released as part of a fire-suppression system that was activated in the electrical room in which the four independent contractors were working.
"With the timely and skilled hands-on assistance of Los Angeles Police Department and Los Angeles Airport Police Officers assisting them with CPR, the LAFD Paramedic crew, soon joined by other LAFD responders, immediately began advanced life support measures at the scene and during the man's ambulance transport to an area hospital, where he arrived in critical condition, though with his pulse and spontaneous breathing restored," the LAFD reported.
