A tragic incident unfolded on Christmas Day as a Massachusetts family of four was discovered dead in their New Hampshire lake house due to a suspected carbon monoxide leak.

The Goldstein family, hailing from Newtown, Mass., was found lifeless just before 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday after failing to attend a holiday gathering, prompting concerned relatives to contact the authorities, according to New Hampshire State Fire Marshal Sean Toomey.

Upon investigation, high levels of carbon monoxide were detected inside the residence, with the family patriarch, Matthew Goldstein, 52, succumbing to carbon monoxide poisoning. The malfunctioning propane heating system in the vacation home was identified as the likely cause of the tragedy, as reported by the Associated Press.

Tragically, Lyla Goldstein, 54, a project manager at Microsoft, along with the couple’s daughters Valerie and Violet, a 19-year-old student at Rhode Island School of Design, also lost their lives in the incident. Autopsies conducted on the family members revealed that the cause of death for the three women is pending, with the absence of carbon monoxide detectors in the house noted by investigators.

“Efforts to determine the cause of the suspected carbon monoxide leak remain active and ongoing, with investigators focusing on inspecting the home’s gas heating system,” stated the state fire marshal in a recent update.

Carbon monoxide, an invisible and odorless gas, poses a significant health risk, potentially leading to sudden illness or death if inhaled, as highlighted by the CDC. Each year, over 400 individuals in the US die from unintentional carbon monoxide poisoning unrelated to fires, with thousands more requiring emergency medical attention.

The CDC advises regular chimney inspections and cleanings to prevent blockages that can trap carbon monoxide indoors. Additionally, it is recommended to replace carbon monoxide detectors every five years or as per the manufacturer’s guidelines.
