Tragic Death Linked to Carbon Monoxide Exposure in Metal Township
Metal Township, PA – On January 14, authorities were called to a residence on Creek Road following a report of a sudden and unexplained death. Upon arrival, troopers discovered the body of the victim, prompting a comprehensive investigation.

They are urging local residents to install carbon monoxide detectors in their homes and to carry out regular inspections of heating appliances. These proactive steps can significantly reduce the risk of similar fatalities.
As the community grapples with the loss, authorities remind everyone to prioritize safety, especially as temperatures fall and reliance on heating systems grows.
