SANTA CLARITA : FBI Agent’s Death From Carbon Monoxide Probed
Investigators were awaiting autopsy results Thursday in the apparent carbon monoxide poisoning death in a Mammoth Lakes ski resort of an FBI agent from Santa Clarita, authorities said Thursday.
Special Agent Walter Weber, 42, was pronounced dead Sunday after he was found lying in his room at the North Village Inn.
His wife, Molly Smith Weber, 36, vice president for college textbook publishing at Houghton Mifflin Co., was listed in critical but stable condition Thursday at Loma Linda Medical Center. Her mother, Sally Schuler, said Wednesday that Mrs. Weber was being treated for carbon monoxide poisoning.
Hotel manager Philly Brooks said she had been told by investigators that Weber’s death and his wife’s injury were the results of a faulty gas heater.
