The death of an Edmonton man from suspected carbon monoxide poisoning is further proof of the need for improved safety standards in Alberta, says a man who lost four family members to the "silent killer." I lost my niece, her husband and both of their children to carbon monoxide poisoning," said John Gignac, a retired Brantford, Ont. However, the need for carbon monoxide sensors remains largely unregulated in other Canadian jurisdictions. One person died and four others were taken to hospital after a suspected carbon monoxide poisoning at a home in north Edmonton Sunday evening. On Oct. 21, an Edmonton family of six was rushed to hospital after their home, a south Edmonton condo, was filled with carbon monoxide.
