Shortly after midday the boat\u2019s owner was found collapsed on the boat and despite the efforts of fellow club members and emergency services he did not regain consciousness.<\/p>\n<p>At the time of the accident the boat was secured to a club pontoon. The inboard petrol engine was running and the canvas cockpit canopy was fully closed except for one zip that was undone.<\/p>\n<p>Approximately 45 minutes after he had started the engine, the owner was discovered collapsed in the cabin. Two club members boarded the boat and began to administer CPR.<\/p>\n<p>Paramedics arrived and immediately recognised that the rescuers were displaying symptoms consistent with carbon monoxide (<abbr title=\"carbon monoxide\">CO<\/abbr>) poisoning. They removed the cockpit cover and continued to administer CPR to the owner.<\/p>\n<p>The owner was transported to hospital but was later pronounced deceased. Both rescuers were confirmed as suffering from <abbr title=\"carbon monoxide\">CO<\/abbr> poisoning and treated in hospital.<\/p>\n<p>Initial MAIB tests showed high levels of <abbr title=\"carbon monoxide\">CO<\/abbr> inside the cockpit with the engine running.<\/p>\n<p>The boat was not fitted with a <abbr title=\"carbon monoxide\">CO<\/abbr> detector\/alarm.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"further-information\">Further information<\/h4>\n<p>Our investigation is independent of any investigation carried out by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/organisations\/maritime-and-coastguard-agency\">Maritime and Coastguard Agency<\/a> and the police.<\/p>\n<p>You can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/email-signup\/new?email_signup%5Bfeed%5D=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Fgovernment%2Forganisations%2Fmarine-accident-investigation-branch.atom\">subscribe<\/a> to automated emails notifying you when we publish our reports.<\/p>\n<div class=\"contact \" id=\"contact_2380\">\n<div class=\"content\">\n<h3>Press enquiries<\/h3>\n<div class=\"vcard contact-inner\">\n<div class=\"email-url-number\">\n<p class=\"tel\">\n              <span class=\"type\">Press enquiries during office hours<\/span><br \/>\n              01932 440015\n            <\/p>\n<p class=\"tel\">\n              <span class=\"type\">Press enquiries out of hours<\/span><br \/>\n              020 7944 4292\n            <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Owner of motor cruiser Vasquez alongside in Cardiff found deceased on board.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76372"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=76372"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76372\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":76988,"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76372\/revisions\/76988"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=76372"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=76372"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=76372"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
