SYCAMORE, Ind. (WISH) — The Howard County Coroner’s Office says a woman found dead in a pole barn Friday afternoon possibly died by carbon monoxide poisoning.
The coroner’s office on Monday said they were dispatched to a home in the 1100 block of East County Road 200 North in rural Howard County east of Kokomo just before 4 p.m. Friday.
There, they located a woman dead in a pole barn. Coroners identified the victim as Lacy Alexander, 45, a resident of the property.
Investigators believe Alexander died due to accidental carbon monoxide poisoning; Alexander had been using a gas powered washer to clean out stalls in the barn.
