Steven Ringley went to the Covington Place house around 12:20 this afternoon after his mother, Mary J. Ringley, didn’t answer phone calls, Police Chief Benjamin Fox said.
He “entered the house through the closed garage door [and] found her car running inside,” the chief said.
Ringley told police he went into the house and found his mother on the floor of a bedroom above the garage.
Wyckoff firefighters found carbon monoxide levels above 1000 parts per million — more than 28 times the level considered toxic, Fox said. There were no carbon monoxide detectors in the home, he said.
Fox said Mrs. Ringley arrived home around 4 o’clock yesterday and apparently lef the car running.
The Bergen County Medical Examiner’s Office is participating in an investigation to determine an official cause of death, the chief said.
