Carbon monoxide poisoning has been determined to have been the cause of death of a man whose body was found June 30 at the Dworshak Dam power house.
The Clearwater County Sheriff’s Office says 54-year-old Eric Engle, a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers employee, died of carbon monoxide poisoning from the inhalation of exhaust fumes.
According to the sheriff’s office, Engle had been operating a gas-powered pressure washer in a small access leading to the diversion tunnel. His body was discovered by co-workers the next morning.
The Clearwater County coroner ordered the autopsy to determine the cause of death. (Lewiston Tribune)
