The Cache County Sheriff's Office is reporting two deaths Sunday morning from suspected carbon monoxide poisoning.

Lt. Matt Bilodeau said Cache County medical and search and rescue units were called to a location on Ant Flat Road in the southeast area of the county shortly after 8 a.m. Sunday. A LifeFlight helicopter was also dispatched and arrived to find a man and a girl dead from what appears to be the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning.

Bilodeau said investigators were still at the scene late Sunday and a confirmation of what caused the deaths would be determined by a medical examiner.

Police identified the dead as Steven Dowdy, 28, and Darian Thomlinson, 10, of Grand Junction, Colo. According to a release from the sheriff's office, the two were family friends.

Bilodeau said a large number of people had gathered near Ant Flat Road over the weekend to participate in paint ball tournaments being held in the area.
