There have been eight storm-related deaths in Connecticut since the October snowstorm cut power to hundreds of thousands of residents.

* WEST HARTFORD: Ida Schaechter, 78, was killed and her husband hospitalized after a fire at a home at 4 High Wood Road Tuesday night. Firefighters said there was no power on in the home at the time of the fire. The couple may have been using an alternative means to heat their home, which may have caused the fire, firefighters said. The cause of the tire remains under investigation. Fire officials said it originated in the room with the fire place.

* EAST HARTFORD: Police are investigating the death of a young woman who might have died of carbon monoxide poisoning. Lt. Curt Stoldt said the woman was found in her home on Burnside Avenue on Wednesday before noon. "It appears that she was using charcoal to heat food in her home," he said. The woman's name has not been released because police have not yet notified the family.

* SHARON: Richard S. Rothschild, 85, was found dead Tuesday afternoon of apparent carbon monoxide poisoning. A neighbor called 911 at about 1 p.m. reporting that his neighbor was unconscious in his home at 175 Knibloe Hill Road, and Sharon firefighters, ambulance volunteers and state police responded. The man was declared dead at the scene. State police said the CO came from a generator that was supplying power to Rothschild's home. The exhaust pipes were properly vented, but a broken muffler caused CO to fill the house, police said.

* ENFIELD: Mary J. Guerriero, 87, was found dead at a home on Ohear Avenue Tuesday morning. A spokeswoman with the medical examiner's office said she died of carbon monoxide poisoning and that her death was an accident. Two other occupants of the home, later identified as the woman's husband and son, were treated for carbon monoxide poisoning at a local hospital and released, police said.

* ENFIELD: Christopher A. Noyes, 43, died Monday evening after he lost control of the ATV he was driving and collided with a low-hanging wire. Police responded to the accident on Hebron Road shortly after 7 p.m. Monday.

* HARTFORD: Alan Sheppard, 32, of Vine Street in Hartford was killed on Sunday after he thrown from his Acura after it went off of southbound I-91 just before the Airport Road exit. The car went down an embankment and Sheppard was thrown from the car and killed, state police said.

* VERNON: Linda Peddle, 51, died Saturday afternoon along Route 85 in what state police describe as a weather-related accident. Peddle was taken to Marlborough Clinic for treatment, but died of her injuries. She was driving a Nissan Altima that collided with a Ford Ranger pickup truck along Route 85 near Niles Road at about 1:45 p.m. Saturday.
