7-year-old girl drowns after succumbing to carbon monoxide

PAGE, Ariz. -- A 7-year-old Flagstaff girl drowned in Lake Powell after she was overcome with carbon monoxide fumes, the first such death in the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area on the Arizona-Utah border in five years.


Megan Evans, 7, was swimming with her friend, Kayleen Tubbs, 7, near two cabin cruiser boats at their campsite on the shoreline of Lake Powell, according to Glen Canyon spokesman Kevin Schneider.

Kayleen's mother, who had been showering using hot water from the boat motor, noticed her daughter unconscious in the water and sinking. She jumped in and rescued the girl, and several people began attending to her.

While Kayleen was being treated, the group noticed Megan was missing and soon found her unconscious at the bottom of about 5 to 10 feet of water.

Paramedics performed CPR on Megan, and both girls were then flown to the Page Hospital. Megan died, and Kayleen lived after receiving intense oxygen treatments, Schneider said.

Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless gas produced by all motors. If it accumulates in the blood, it can cause death.

At the time of Saturday's accident, Schneider said winds were extremely calm, which prevented the carbon monoxide from dispersing.

He said a carbon monoxide-related death hasn't occurred at Glen Canyon since 2002.

Tragic, but I'm surprised there aren't more like it.  They really worked hard over the last ten years at Lake Powell to prevent and reduce these incidents by bringing all of the houseboats closer to modern standards.  When we were out on the dive missions at Pleasant for the last couple months, we were constantly monitoring everyones CO levels due to the constant idle and slow movement of the boat.  It was pretty scary to see how fast my CO level could rise just being in the boat too near the outboard for a short time.

Carbon Monoxide poisoning kills boaters.  Take the time to learn about it and how to avoid it.

I guess a guy flipped his boat at Winsor on Saturday.  They found his body on Monday.  They said he made a sharp turn to miss another boat and they also said that alchole was involved.

You can't go forward looking back!

Turns out I have a co-worker that are friends of the families and were with the group when this happened. It's a real sad situation.

The one thing that was not stataed is that parimedics checked everyone in the group and found very low levels of carbon monoxide in a couple of folks but most were OK. The article also states that wind were extreamly calm, There was actualy NO air movment at all. The boat is being checked out.

Ya, without her friend! I can only think of how this will affect the poor girl in the years to come!

Not to judge anyone....but really don't let your kids out of your sight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In the shower.....they are in the water???????

I don't care how dumb people think being to cautious is........you have to think like something might happen, and take those precautions.

Again, I am not judging.....so don't jump my sh*t!  :peace

It's a whole new year!

Where my girls at?

They weren't "in the shower". Some wake-board boats have attachments so that you can shower with warm (hot?) water after it's run through the boat engine.

The problem is, that the boat has to be running, and people usually sit or stand near the back of the boat, while it's beached.

The girls were apparently swimming near the back of the boat at the time.

Thanks Boatcop for explaining....

But this brings up another point. Who the hell designed that? Aren't people/consumer educated about the boat they bought? If they were aware of the danger...why?.....like I stated in the first post.....Always treat things like they could happen, this makes one more aware.

Again, I am sorry. This just seems so simple....and now a family lives are changed forever. And the world is less one little girl. All by a stupid, simple preventable situation!!!!!!

It should have never happen!

It's a whole new year!

Where my girls at?

This is certainly tragic, no doubt, it just shouldn't of happened.
What will be also tragic, is when they file a suit against the boat manufacture. It will happen, watch.
