Three overcome by Carbon Monoxide fumes while on fishing trip

Associated Press

CLEARWATER, Fla. - Three people on a fishing trip were overcome by Carbon Monoxide fumes as they napped below deck, and required medical attention when the boat returned to shore, officials said.

There were nine people on the 40-foot Wellcraft cabin cruiser when it left for an approximately five-hour fishing trip, said Joel Gray, the Clearwater fire marshal.

After the boat returned to the dock shortly after noon on Sunday, the three people - a young woman and two men - couldn't be awakened, Gray said.

Rescue crews determined they had suffered Carbon Monoxide poisoning. Though officials said the gas likely came from the boat's diesel motor, they were investigating how it entered the cabin.

The three victims, who were not identified, were first taken to Morton Plant Hospital, then transferred to another medical facility so they could be treated in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber, rescue officials said.

The victims' conditions and the name and location of the second medical facility were not given.
