Carbon Monoxide killed a 13-year-old girl and sickened 41 other residents in a Perth Amboy, New Jersey, apartment building on the night of Dec. 4, police say.

Three relatives of the girl who died—a man in his 40s, a 21-year-old woman, and a 14-year-old girl—were hospitalized and remain in critical condition.
