JERSEY CITY, Feb. 5 (Reuters) - Three construction workers were found dead yesterday in a house they were renovating after they apparently succumbed to carbon monoxide fumes from a generator in the basement, the police said. A fourth worker, who survived apparently called the police from the house, reporting that "three people didn't wake up," said Lt. Michael Louf, a spokesman for the police. The police traced the source of the gas to a generator in the basement that was being used as a heat source and sending fumes through ventilators throughout the house, Lieutenant Louf said.
