Carbon Monoxide Allegedly Kills Two Jersey City Residents


Posted on Apr 19, 2011

Two residents of 446 Baldwin Avenue in Jersey City have died of carbon monoxide poisoning in the last thirty days. A third death is under investigation.

According to recent reports, 24-year-old Rosaria Ferreras-Matos was found dead at her new 446 Baldwin Avenue home on April 4, 2011. She had just moved into her home days before her death. Her death prompted officials to look more closely at the March 12, 2011 death of Arthur Galloway who had lived in the same unit at 446 Baldwin Avenue. Officials have concluded that both deaths were due to carbon monoxide poisoning.

On April 5, 2011, residents were evacuated from the building while fire officials tried to determine where the carbon monoxide was coming from. While searching the building, officials found an unopened box of carbon monoxide detectors in the basement.

It is unclear whether working carbon monoxide detectors were in place prior to the deaths of Ms. Ferreras-Matos and Mr. Galloway. New Jersey law requires every unit of a multiple unit dwelling, such as 446 Baldwin Avenue, to have a working carbon monoxide monitor unless it can be determined that there is no carbon monoxide risk.

We extend our sincere condolences to the families and friends of Ms. Ferreras-Matos and Mr. Galloway following these fatal New Jersey premises liability accidents.
