COLUMBUS, Ohio — The source of a carbon monoxide leak at the Hampton Inn in Marysville Saturday that hospitalized multiple people may have came from a pool heater, according to police and fire officials.
The Marysville Division of Fire and Division of Police are investigating the incident to confirm the origin of the carbon monoxide and determine what caused it to build up to such high levels inside the building, according to a Monday news release.
Ohio's fire code does not require hotels to have carbon monoxide detectors in the pool area of the hotel. Inspections and licensing of public water facilities, such as the hotel pool and hot tub, are done by local health departments.
