Police and fire officials said three people were found dead Monday evening in an incident that appears to involve carbon monoxide in Nahant, Massachusetts.
Emergency crews responded to a home on Cottage Street for a well-being check, authorities said. The bodies of three adult members of a family were found.
"Great people. The grandmother that lived there was our French teacher. That's how long we have known those people," said John Moleti, a neighbor.
"Its shocking, I can't believe it," said neighbor Ted Mahoney.
