Father and Seven Children Killed from Electricity Being Turned Off

On Monday, April 6, 2015 a man and his seven children died in their home in Princess Anne, Maryland. All eight of them were found dead in their home after the state turned off their electricity due to the inability to pay their bills. Soon after the state shut down their electric supply they realized that there was a generator that was purchase by Rodney Todd Sr., the father of the seven children, running in the home. The family was poisoned by carbon monoxide located in the generator. Relatives claim that Rodney had “Good intentions,” and that he was just trying to keep his family warm throughout the day and night.
