Family found dead inside Northeast Philly home

An investigation is underway after a husband, wife and their daughter were found dead inside a Northeast Philadelphia home Thursday afternoon.

As the medics took the woman to the hospital, officials received another call for a wellness check at the same home. Commissioner Murphy said the school where one of the residents of the home worked as a teacher had called police because she hadn’t shown up for the past three days. The mother of the woman – identified by family members as 47-year-old Maricel Martinez – had also called police for a wellness check.

Investigators have not released an official cause of death but suspect they all died from carbon monoxide poisoning, police said.“When we arrived on scene yes, there were high levels of carbon monoxide in the house,” Commissioner Murphy said. “And our members with the equipment that they took into the house to do the wellness check, alarms started going off on the meters that they carry in the house, and yes, there were high levels of carbon monoxide in the house.
