Evergreen State staff turned off carbon monoxide alarms before student's death ( www.seattletimes.com )

The alarm(s!) were going off for 14 hours! They were reset at least 4 times. How did no one think, “Oh, there might be a CO leak! I better investigate”?

The only correct thing to do when you hear a CO alarm is to evacuate and get someone with the tools to deal with the problem to help (usually the fire department).

Poor guy. I hope the other victims recover.

Maintenance claimed they thought it was a false alarm. If you do not investigate it and just keep turning it off, there is no way you can legitimately claim that you thought it was a false alarm. The only way you can do that is if you actually test and find it was a false alarm.
