NJ Man Dead, Woman and 2 Kids Hospitalized in Gas Incident

A 59-year-old man was found dead, and three other people, including a 5-year-old girl and 10-year-old boy, were taken to a hospital after carbon monoxide overwhelmed their New Jersey home Thursday, authorities say. 

Bernardsville Police describe an "active police investigation" at the home on Chestnut Avenue, where authorities responded after someone inside the house called 911 around 6 a.m. The 59-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene.
