And how did they get poisoned by that potentially lethal gas?

Someone was using a grill inside a home on West Roscoe Street in the Kilbourn Park neighborhood where the incident took place. Were they trying to grill the bird like a hamburger?

Seven people were sent to West Suburban Medical Center and Our Lady of the Resurrection Medical Center, and another 13 were treated for carbon monoxide poisoning at the scene, according to the Tribune.

The incident happened before 11 p.m.
