Deadwood rec member spent days in hospital after severe carbon monoxide poisoning

South Dakota —

At least one member of the Deadwood Recreation Center was hospitalized for several days due to carbon monoxide poisoning that was the result of a gas leak on Thursday.

Hilary White said she smelled gas when she walked into the weight room in the basement of the rec center for her normal workout. She didn’t think anything of it, until she started to feel sluggish and disoriented. Then, another man who was exercising at the same time asked if she felt sick like he did, and he suggested that they both get out of the building.
