Three Found Dead on Boat at Saguaro Lake in Suspected Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

MCSO says the deaths appear accidental, with no signs of foul play, as the investigation continues.

Three people were found dead on a boat at Saguaro Lake on Saturday afternoon, with authorities suspecting carbon monoxide poisoning as the cause.

The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) responded to a welfare check call at the Saguaro Lake Marina just before 3 p.m. Deputies discovered the bodies of a man and two women inside the boat.

Cause of Death and Investigation

Preliminary evidence suggests the victims died from carbon monoxide poisoning. According to officials, the incident does not appear suspicious. The identities of the deceased have not yet been released, and the case remains under investigation.

MCSO provided an update Saturday night but did not share additional details. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities are working to determine the exact circumstances leading to the tragedy.

Carbon monoxide poisoning is a silent killer, often caused by improper ventilation in enclosed spaces. This incident serves as a somber reminder of the potential dangers associated with recreational boating.
