CARBON COUNTY, Utah — Authorities released new details as an investigation continues into two deaths caused by carbon monoxide poisoning earlier this week.

The two individuals who died were a 33-year-old man and 23-year-old man.
The survivors were a 13-year-old teen and 58-year-old man, officials stated.
