We’ve had a couple already this year,” Toomey said. “It’s something we don’t see, we don’t taste, you know, you don’t smell. There is no way to detect it other than having an alarm.”<\/p>\n The man’s identity has not been released pending an autopsy and notification of next of kin.<\/p>\n Anyone with information is asked to contact Trooper Michael Pauley at Michael.D.Pauley@dos.nh.gov.<\/p>\n
