The Sonoma County Sheriff's Office has revealed that two men found dead in a Sea Ranch home on Wednesday may have died from carbon monoxide poisoning. The men were discovered when a crew arrived to remove a fallen tree from the house, leading to early reports that they had died as a result of the tree.

However, the Sheriff's Office has stated that the men were found in separate bedrooms and there was a generator in the hallway. The generator's power switch was on, but the fuel tank was empty. The area has been experiencing widespread power failures due to recent storms, leading people to use generators for power. The identities of the men are still being investigated, and the cause of death will be determined by the medical examiner. The Sheriff's Office reminds residents that generators should always be used outdoors and at least 20 feet away from any occupied buildings to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.
