(Jan. 13, 2015) -- A foul odor from an apartment unit in the 1100 block of Gardenia Ave. brought an LBPD response and officers discovered the bodies of three deceased persons: one female and two males. LBPD Public Information Officer Nancy Pratt says the cause of death will be officially determined by the Coroner's office, but a large portable propane heater was located inside the unit and it appears the occupants were using it for warmth.

"These type of heaters are not intended for indoor use and can produce deadly levels of carbon monoxide if the area is not adequately ventilated," PIO Pratt notes.
The deceased persons' identities are being withheld pending notification of next of kin. The relationship between the occupants is unknown. LBPD's investigation remains ongoing.
