Around noon, on January 21 the Hubbard County Sheriff’s Office received a report of two people that were unresponsive at a residence in Rockwood Township in northern Hubbard County.

Deputies and medical personnel arrived to find 56-year old, Anthony Dippel of Coleraine, MN and 23-year old, Kyle Baird of Grand Rapids, MN outside recovering from apparent carbon monoxide poisoning.
