HTN: CO Tragedy in West Seneca

A West Seneca teenager will be laid to rest this week after suffering carbon monoxide poisoning over the weekend. Police say 16-year-old Amanda Hansen was found dead at a friend's sleepover party early Saturday morning. Investigators say the two girls decided to sleep in the basement, and were both found unconscious the next morning. Hansen could not be saved by paramedics. Three other family members in the house were also sickened. Authorities say a basement boiler was malfunctioning, which leaked carbon monoxide into the basement. Hansen's wake will be tomorrow. The funeral is set for Wednesday.
