Incident Summary:

On June 3rd, 2017 The St. Louis County Sheriff's Office, the Fond Du Lac Police Department and serval area EMS agencies responded to the call of possible carbon monoxide poisoning of two adults. Both Pamela Smith and Richard Smith were found inside their camper unresponsive. Despite rescue efforts by friends and first responders, both Pamela and Richard were pronounced dead at the scene. The cause of death appears to be carbon monoxide poisoning, but exact cause is under investigation by the Midwest Medical Examiner's Office.
