Carbon monoxide has been blamed for the reported death of a couple in their Fulton County home.

Fulton County Coroner Jeri Good confirmed the deaths of Maurice and Barbara Sue Lewis. They were found by a family member on Tuesday.

Carbon monoxide is a gas that has no odor, taste or color. It comes from burning fuels, including gasoline, wood, propane or charcoal. Appliances and engines that aren't well vented can cause the carbon monoxide to build up to dangerous levels. A tightly enclosed space makes the buildup worse.

GIANT fm News doesn't have definitive information as to the cause of the carbon monoxide that led to the Lewis deaths.
