TROY, Mich. (AP) - Police say a 92-year-old suburban Detroit man died after a
raccoon got stuck in his home's flue pipe from the furnace to the
chimney.
Police say Frederick W. Braga of Troy was found dead Monday,
apparently overcome by smoke and possible carbon monoxide
poisoning.
Lt. Michael Lyczkowski tells the Detroit Free Press that
Braga was found in the basement, where the furnace was located.
There was a strong odor in the house and the raccoon was found dead
in the vent pipe.
