“It is a lack of oxygen that affects the body. There are certain things that become irreversible. The heart can be damaged. Once the brain has been without oxygen for too long, there can be irreversible symptoms,” Dr Lynn Farrugia, an emergency department physician, said.
“The carbon monoxide was confirmed because the fire department monitor read 80 parts per million in the apartment, which is extremely high,” she said.
