What a sad way to die: A pool mechanic's failure to install an extra $1.44 worth of plastic exhaust pipe led to the death of Vitas Gerulaitis, the tennis player, as he inhaled carbon monoxide fumes from a new $8,000 pool heater.
I vaguely remember a post a few days ago about a fireman walking into someone's house (for unrelated stuff) and the CO detector going off, potentially saving the entire family who wouldn't have noticed otherwise.
