Firefighters responded to a home in the 900 block of Taradale Drive N.E. When they arrived, they found carbon monoxide levels of 200 parts per million in the basement.
A man has been found dead in the basement, according to the Calgary Fire Department. The cause of death has not been determined. EMS crews all wear carbon monoxide detectors on their bodies, which is what first alerted responders that there was a problem at the home.

"Our fire crews found levels of 90 parts per million as soon as they entered the home, then when they went to the basement, where the unconscious man was believed to be, they found levels of over 270 parts per million," said Carol. . Henke, CFD public information officer.
Police confirmed officers were at the home on Monday for a welfare check, but had not made contact with anyone at the time. People close to the family told CTV News that the man's mother in Windsor had been trying to call them for three days.
Police are investigating the incident, but do not believe it is a criminal matter.
