WALDPORT, Ore. -- Two people using a barbecue to heat the inside of their van died of carbon monoxide poisoning off a forest service road in western Oregon, deputies said Friday.
Lincoln County sheriff's deputies said 25-year-old Laureano Calmo-Ramirez and 17-year-old Magdaleno Ramos were found dead about 30 miles southeast of Waldport.
Deputies said the men were picking "minor forest products" on forest service land.
The two men lived in Corvallis and had been missing since March 10. Family reported their disappearance to police March 17 and authorities searched an area near Highway 101 between Waldport and Cape Perpetua the following day.
It's not known when the two men died. Family and forest service officers found them at about 2:30 p.m. Thursday.
Their bodies have been turned over to a medical examiner's office.
Sorry, no pictures. What a shame that the cost of stupidity had to be paid with their lives, but when will people THINK!!!
