A WOMAN who survived a suspected carbon monoxide leak at her home which killed her partner has been released from hospital

A WOMAN who survived a suspected carbon monoxide leak at her home which killed her partner has been released from hospital. She was found unconscious at the home she shared with partner Stephen Newton, 51, in Stanley Common, and was taken to hospital in a serious condition, not regaining consciousness until after the incident on Tuesday, December 29 at 2.50pm.

The woman, who has not been named, has now left hospital and is recovering at home.

Mr Newton was found dead inside the terraced house on private cul-de-sac Brickyard.

Health and Safety officials are probing the incident and checking if a boiler in the house was to blame for the suspected leak.

An inquest into Mr Newton's death will be held on a date yet to be fixed.

Neighbour Sue Ward, 60, said: "I came back from town about 4.30pm and there were police and fire engines on the road.

"I didn't know the couple very well, just to say hello to really, but they seemed very nice. They kept themselves to themselves.

"It's awful what's happened."

Police said Mr Newton's partner had been in a serious condition before she was discharged from Derby Royal Hospital over the weekend.

Neighbours Carol Jones, 58, and Paul Grant, 55, who have been living on the road for 11 years, said: "We didn't know them really well. They've been living there about four or five years.

"It's a terrible thing to happen.

"Firemen have been round to test our boiler and the rest of the house for any carbon monoxide.

"We're definitely going to get a detector fitted now."

Station manager for Derbyshire Fire Service's south area office Roy Reynolds, who attended the house, issued a warning to people to get carbon monoxide detectors fitted to check for any leaks.

He said: "We would like to advise people to make sure any appliances are serviced annually by a competent engineer and ensure any flues or chimneys are cleared regularly.

"We would also like to ask people to fit carbon monoxide detectors in their homes." Carbon Monoxide Alarms and Detectors If you wish to purchase a Carbon Monoxide Alarm or Carbon Monoxide Detector contact Carbon Monoxide Alarms Ltd.

Where can I buy an inflatable mattress " air leak " detector for a very small leak ? See detail.?

I have a queen size inflatable " high" mattress with a leak that keeps letting much of the air our where I have to keep inflating it with the manufacurer's electric built in pump. I tried spraying it thouroughly with soapy water - but could not locate the leak. The manufacturer says try Walmart or Target, but I doubt seriously they have this leak detector. Does someone know exactly where I can get one?

If there is a pool big enough to submerge the mattress, even if it's one end at a time, try that. If there isn't one convenient, you can try smoke. If you smoke or have friends who smoke ask them to blow smoke close to the mattress, one small area at a time. Or buy or rent a Halloween smoke-generator from a shop that sells or rents them and do the same thing.

You can try the soapy water again, but spraying it won't work (it dries the spray out or blows it away from the hole). You have to submerge it or cover a part of the surface at a time. Keep in mind the leak is probably at a seam, not on a flat surface, so you only have to submerge a narrow side or end, not the whole thing.

You can let the air almost out and fold it, and submerge the whole thing, then squeeze it. You should see some bubbles and you can narrow down the section by refolding, redunking and squeezing, until you see exactly where the air is coming out.

It probably won't be possible to repair it, especially if it is in a seam, so you can spare yourself the trouble and just get a new one. Check the guarantee that came with it. They may owe you a new one.

Cleaning up after toy truck's tires
Q: My son played with a big truck on a finished wood floor and left many black tire marks. I tried various cleaners such as paint thinner, Brillo, and Murphy's oil soap, without success. Do you know how I can remove them?
