NORTH LITTLE ROCK, Ark. -- Four adults who were found dead in a home in central Arkansas over the weekend died from carbon monoxide poisoning, police said Wednesday.

Officers who were conducting a property check Sunday found an open door and discovered the bodies of three men and a woman, North Little Rock police said.

During the death investigation, detectives discovered a welder/generator that had been reported stolen Sunday morning from a nearby construction site, police said.
