CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — A North Carolina board deciding whether to suspend or revoke the license of a contractor has shed new light on errors that led to three people dying from carbon monoxide poisoning in the same Boone motel room.
The State Board of Examiners of Plumbing, Heating & Fire Sprinkler Contractors held a contractor accountable for an inspection that failed to find a heavily corroded pipe leaking carbon monoxide from a water heater in the motel's pool. The same board has filed a complaint against another contractor that a state inspector said converted the pool heater from propane to natural gas despite instructions that explicitly said that should not be done, according to a transcript of the May hearing obtained by The Charlotte Observer.
