I'd sue the owner....errrr....uhhhhmmmm...

Revenge of the wrench-turners.

Sad story. Well, if nothing else, their immediate relatives will all end up rich and be able to buy their own mansions in Colorado. Talk about a slam dunk lawsuit win.

Silent but deadly.

You guys, BUY A CARBON MONOXIDE detector and install it in your homes. My father was a risk manager and he used to go on and on about how important - and underused - these things are. He was right.

Looks like Joe The Plumber should have gotten his certification after all.

Fucking shitty.

That is a very sad story... :/

Though I don't understand why the wife (whom I thought was said to have been a risk manager) wouldn't have thought of a CO detector... but I guess no one really thinks of those things until they read/hear a story like this one.. :/

At least they went doing something they always wanted to do. (eye roll)

"Why should ANYONE be liable?"

Builders are forced by law to use building inspectors to insure that the subcontractors are providing quality, safe installations. Of course, some inspectors don't do their job and others are in the tank for the builder...if faults are found, those faults would cause delays in the completion of the project which equates to fines accessed by the financier thus, reduced bonuses for the Superintendent. I believe liability would not be hard to access in this situation.

Yup, someone's going to be cutting a pretty big check for this.

Would it be ironic if the settlement involved the plaintiff receiving the house?

... and then forgot to install a CO detector? and sold it for a huge pile of money? and the buyers died too? and the cycle was complete?

That's got to be an eerie site to walk into. Can you imagine? Everyone just laying in bed but not asleep. I could never be a coroner.

Parker Lofgren was a founding partner of the high-profile boutique investment bank St. Charles Capital and was involved in merger and acquisition investments worth in excess of $2.3 billion, according to a news release issued by the company.

Be interesting to see where this bank id financially-gas poisoning isn't always an accident.

I guess paying 9 MILLION FUCKING DOLLARS isn't enough to pay to be able to expect quality workmanship anymore.

maybe Lombardo was wrong,

winning isn't everything (or the only thing)

"I guess paying 9 MILLION FUCKING DOLLARS isn't enough to pay to be able to expect quality workmanship anymore."

The same subcontractors build multi-million dollar homes as build duplexes. Bigger ticket, same procedures.

The homeless are smart,they know that houses can turn against the humans inside of them at anytime!!!

Just goes to show that big money doesn't buy big quality.

It all comes down to the grunt putting it all together.

Oh wait so someone has already made a pile off this...

I think most of you are missing the real scary part of the story. 9 MILLION BUCKS FOR 3BD & 3BTH!

What is this world coming to?

Don't forget the cheap Mexican labor.

It must suck to wake up dead.
