However, emergency responders soon discovered that 76-year-old Dayle Haddon was still in the building. Despite efforts to save her, Haddon was tragically pronounced dead at the scene.
Authorities believe the cause of the leak was a faulty heating boiler. “It is believed that a heating unit, a boiler unit, is the source of the carbon monoxide.

Sergeant Jonathan Koretzky of the Solebury Twp. The police reported this in a statement.
Born and raised in Montreal, Dayle Haddon was fluent in English and French. Initially, she pursued a career in ballet, but fate had other plans.

“The bright light that is Dayle has dimmed in this earthly realm. I have no doubt that it shines as brightly as ever somewhere, where it is most needed. She was a woman in her power, yet gentle and attentive to everyone. Deeply creative and curious, gifted with beauty inside and out. Always kind and attentive,” Ryan wrote in a tribute on Friday.
