Abstract: On January 18, 2008, several employees for the contractor erected an enclosure so that they could increase the heat for the stucco to dry. The enclosure was above the room heating/air conditioning units and contained the exhaust from the two hot water heaters for the hotel. This allowed the exhaust gasses to penetrate into the room, causing the death of one guest. Several others were taken to the hospital.
