MUSKEGON HEIGHTS, Mich. (WOOD) — A Muskegon Heights man is expected to be OK after police found him on his kitchen floor, likely after being overcome by carbon monoxide.
The Muskegon Heights Police Department said in a release that on Feb. 15, Officers Amiya Overstreet and Mitch Wilson were sent to check on a man who had not been heard from in two weeks.
The responding officers were pointed to a home on Superior Street near Delano Avenue.
There, officers found the man laying on the kitchen floor. They, along with the Muskegon Heights Fire Department, went in and started first aid. He was then taken to a hospital.
Police said the man was using a stove to heat his home. The stove was hotter than 187 degrees, and the house registered a very high level of carbon monoxide, police say.
