The Ramsey County Medical Examiner’s Office, where Moorhead is located, released the preliminary results of a blood test performed on the victims and these reflect a “Lethal level of carbon monoxide toxicity” in Honduran immigrants.

The victims were a married couple formed by Belin Hernandez, 37 years old, and Marleny Pinto, of 34, who died along with their three children, Breylin (16), Mike (7) and Marbely (5), in addition to Eldor Hernandez Castillo (32) and Mariela Guzman Pinto (19).

Previously, the forensic doctor had already ruled out trauma as the cause of death for the Hondurans, who were discovered last Saturday by relatives of the family who came to their home when they had no news of them.

The investigation has found two possible sources of carbon monoxide, a furnace located in a separate room within the garage area and that has an outside air intake, and a vehicle that was in the garage and was found with a discharged battery and the half full gas tank.

Detectives have worked to try to figure out what the carbon monoxide source might be, but “They could not duplicate a malfunction of the oven” and the truck, whose alternator was working properly, did not have a charged battery.

Authorities are conducting further tests on the victims’ blood samples to determine whether hydrogen cyanide is present, which could point to the truck as the cause of what happened.

The results of these tests could take up to eight weeks, they indicated in the bulletin, in which the Police detailed that the last inspection of the house building was carried out in September 2020 and no problems were found with the installed detectors.

Those close to him had indicated that they believed that the death of this family from San Francisco de Yojoa, in the Honduran department of Cortés, it could be due to the inhalation of carbon monoxide when they tried to heat their home.

“The investigation is still active”said the Police while waiting for the next laboratory results.

Meanwhile, relatives and friends organize collections to pay for the repatriation of the corpses to Honduras.
