EAST POINT, Ga. -- An East Point Fire crew, along with East Point police responded to calls about a situation on Wednesday afternoon that left two dead.

Fire officials got calls about the incident just before 3:30 p.m., and responded to a home on the 2200 block of Graywall Street. When they arrived, they found one 11-year-old boy and one 40-year-old adult male dead.

The EPFD said two other juveniles, a two-year-old girl and an 13-year-old boy were taken to Egleston for treatment.

At the scene, firefighters believed the deaths and injuries were caused by exhaust from a gas generator in the home's basement. The carbon monoxide was so strong, according to the fire crew, they were overcome when they went inside.

Later Wednesday evening, 11Alive learned that power to the home was cut off on Monday, and the generator was being used to keep power on.

Firefighters said the home's owner has three kids. They slept in the basement, where the generator was kept.

At this time, firefighters believe there were no working carbon monoxide detectors working in the home.
