FENTON TWP, MI -- Six people have died Sunday, Feb. 21 after due to what police said is a carbon monoxide poisoning incident at a Fenton Township home.

Genesee County Undersheriff Chris Swanson confirmed a family was found inside the home Sunday afternoon at a home in the 13000 block of Stony Brook Pass inside the Stony Brook subdivision, calling the incident "horrific."

Deputies from the sheriff's office responded to the scene along with Fenton Township firefighters and Linden police. A Consumers Energy crew was also called to the scene.

He said the home is being cleared of some type of toxic fumes, but it's not yet confirmed what types of fumes are inside the home as the investigation continues into the cause.

Family outside the home has declined comment. The home is taped off with yellow tape. Some family members remain outside the home, but most appear to have left at this time.
