Plus, if you change the batteries regularly, the $%^& thing won't start doing the low-battery chirping in the middle of the night. Ask me how I know that.

This happened in my region a while back; someone wanted to listen to a CD in the van without running down the battery, and 7 people paid for it with their lives.

Coroner: Carbon monoxide caused 7 deaths

There's a reference to the childrens' already-deceased father; he and their mother were separated, and he committed suicide and is not buried with them.

Replacing my carbon dioxide detectors asap! A horrible reminder.

I've just been upstairs to test my monitor is working. Last week within the space of 15 minutes, two of our fire alarms were beeping with low batteries, I did remove the batteries until I replaced the next morning as they are also mains wired but I didn't even think to check the CO monitor, I honestly forget it's even there.
