Abstract
Asphyxial death from Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is occasionally reported in India. Here in this case report we present such a case of accidental CO poisoning. It was a case of a man aged about 38 years old contractor who succumbed to CO poisoning during sleep on a fateful night. He was a chain smoker with occasional alcohol consumption. The incident occurred inside a bed room which was latched from inside. He was found dead lying on the floor by the side of a semi burnt mattress. There are very few case reports on such poisoning cases that’s the main reason of presenting this article.
