UPDATED: Police say Corbin couple likely died of carbon monoxide poisoning

Date:

Jeffery Stephenson and Rebecca Manning.

Though they are awaiting the results of autopsies to confirm it, Corbin Police say Jeffery Stephenson, 49 and Rebecca Manning, 33 died at a home on Florida Ave. from carbon monoxide poisoning.

Stephenson and Manning were found unresponsive inside the home Thursday morning.

According to Corbin Police Major Rob Jones, police were called to the scene when the owner of the rental property reported that he hadn’t seen or talked to Stephenson in approximately two days.

Corbin Police, Corbin Fire Department and officials from Whitley County Coroner Andy Croley’s office were on scene "all day." In addition, employees from the gas company were seen at the home.

However, Jones declined to offer any details at the time, as police were still in the process of notifying the victims’ families.

Whitley County Chief Deputy Coroner Jerry Croley said the bodies did not appear to have any obvious wounds or cause of death. The bodies have been sent to the state medical office in Frankfort for the autopsies, which are scheduled to be performed today (Friday).
