Four adults are dead of apparent carbon monoxide poisoning in Wakefield.

The State Fire Marshal's Office said the four victims were found Wednesday inside a home at 2962 Province Lake Road (Route 153) in East Wakefield after Wakefield police responded to a request for a welfare check.

Reports indicated the call came from family members after the victims did not arrive at a Christmas gathering.

Autopsies are scheduled for Thursday to confirm the cause of the deaths.

There were reportedly no working carbon monoxide alarms in the home.
