One man was found dead and a woman ill in a home in the 500 block of Dove Drive in the Quail Creek subdivision on Wednesday.

The woman was taken to an undisclosed local hospital.

The Victoria Fire Department detected carbon monoxide in the room where they were found, said Lt. Tom Copeland with the Victoria County Sheriff's Office.

Emergency workers were initially called to the home as a medical emergency around 6:40 p.m., Copeland said.

Copeland added there was no danger to other residents of the subdivision.

Justice of the Peace Henry Welfel conducted an inquest at the home.
