The contact later woke up to neighbors banging on the doors because the carbon monoxide alarm was engaged. The contact was able to open the door, but with great difficulty. The RV resort owner interacted with the contact, but the contact was not making sense. The paramedics performed an evaluation and determined that the Carbon Monoxide level in the contact's body was abnormally high. The contact was immediately provided with fresh oxygen by the ambulance and was transported to the hospital.
