Four people, including two children, were found dead from carbon monoxide poisoning in an Ocala home, according to the Marion County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies said they were called to a home on Banyan Track Way, near Southeast 58th Avenue in Ocala, shortly before 10:30 p.m. on Friday for a well-being check.
At that home, deputies said they found two adults and two children dead inside.
“Just pray for us, the community, the neighborhood, and the family,” Alexander James, a neighbor, said.
James expressed his concern, noting, “This house has been here maybe 10 years and I have known several people that lived there but I have never heard of anything other than that it was nice home, this is new to me; I’m very concerned what’s going on and what happened.”
The sheriff’s office confirmed that no foul play is suspected, labeling the incident as a tragic accident. Neighbors mentioned that the couple had not lived in the area for long and are trying to understand why this happened on their street.
“My neighbors were real nice, Hispanic family that lived here about 10 months, they were real nice people and good neighborly relationship,” James said.
The loss is deeply affecting the community. “Our whole community is going to be sad, and we were up last night some of the neighbors and myself we were saddened by the situation and really hurt because this is a loving community and we enjoy each other,” James said.
Investigators initially called their deaths suspicious, but have since confirmed there is no foul play involved.
The identities of the deceased were not immediately released.
Carbon monoxide accidents are especially dangerous because this toxic gas is odorless, colorless, and often goes undetected until serious harm occurs. Victims can suffer headaches, dizziness, brain damage, and even death due to prolonged exposure. When negligence is involved—such as faulty appliances, poor ventilation, or a landlord’s failure to install detectors—victims have the right to pursue compensation.
