Incident Summary:
Deputies responded to the call of an unresponsive individual in his Canosia Township home. Michael Steen had been located at his home by a friend. Once on scene deputies and first responders determined that Steen and a family dog were both deceased inside of the residence. The initial investigation points to Carbon Monoxicided as the cause of death to both Steen and his canine companion, but the official cause of death will be determined by the Midwest Medical Examiners Office. At the time of the incident there were no carbon monoxide alarms sounding in the residence, but high levels were detected inside. In hopes of avoiding further tragedies over this winter, the St. Louis County Sheriff's Office wants to remind residents to make sure they test their carbon monoxide detectors and replace them as needed during this time of year when homes are being heated again.
