The deaths were being treated as unexplained but police said they believed that possibly there had been a carbon monoxide leak at the address in Bacon Lane, Edgware, north London. Officers were called at around 1.30pm to reports of two unresponsive males, finding both men dead when they arrived along with the London Ambulance Service and London Fire Brigade. ‘Two adult males, one adult female, one male child and one male infant have also been treated on site for carbon monoxide poisoning and taken to hospital by London Ambulance Service.’
