DETROIT (WWJ) -- Carbon monoxide poisoning is suspected to have claimed the lives of two people on Detroit's east side.

The woman is approximated to be in her 30s, while the man's age is unknown.
Officials said that responding firefighters found a non-running generator in the kitchen.
Fornell told WWJ's Mike Campbell that they believe the couple was using that generator to provide electricity and then it ran out of gas.
He reminds everybody that it's not safe to run a generator inside a house.
