It’s still unclear why the system failed, and investigators noted that no carbon monoxide alarms were found in the home.

That's why New Hampshire Fire Marshal Sean Toomey is urging people to have such an alarm inside their homes.

The family that perished from the "silent killer" were Matthew Goldstein, 52, an elementary school teacher, and his wife, Lyla Goldstein, 54, a project manager at Microsoft.

Their daughters, Valerie, 22, who was also a teacher, and Violet, 19, a college student, also passed away.
