A hotel pool heater was the likely source of carbon monoxide exposure in an incident Saturday that sent more than a dozen people to hospitals, authorities say.
Fourteen people, including at least six children, were hospitalized in the incident at a Hampton Inn in Marysville, Ohio, city fire and police officials said in a statement Monday.
Two were stabilized in critical condition, five were stabilized in serious condition and four were treated and released, the officials said. Three people were treated out of town, and their conditions were not available. Although the investigation continued Tuesday, authorities have zeroed in on a heater for the hotel's indoor pool that they believe was the source of carbon monoxide.
"Marysville Fire found life threatening levels of carbon monoxide in the pool area of the hotel," according to the city's statement."During the initial investigation, the source of the carbon monoxide is believed to be a pool heater."Fire officials went to the hotel based on a report that a 2-year-old girl had become unconscious, but they soon received additional calls reporting dizziness and sickness.
