"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.
