John Wesley Heathco was just 40 years old when he and his girlfriend, Abby Lutz, were killed by acute carbon monoxide poisoning on June 13, 2023 at a 5-star resort in Mexico. Carbon monoxide poisoning is an invisible and deadly, yet entirely preventable threat. Shockingly, regulations for carbon monoxide alarms are inconsistent and often minimal. We aim to fix this.
