TOLEDO, Ohio — A Toledo, Ohio mother shared her devastation after losing all four of her young kids and their grandmother to carbon monoxide poisoning.
Adriana Coleman now grieving her four children – Liberty, Storm, Legacy, and Stone and their grandmother, 36-year-old Candace McAllister.
“She had a great personality. She was definitely the life of the party,” Coleman said.
Investigators say the family was sitting inside a vehicle, waiting for help with a flat tire when carbon monoxide filled the car.
Toledo’s fire chief says the children’s father called 911 after arriving to help and finding them unresponsive.
The mother says investigators told her the carbon monoxide level inside that car was extreme.

“I’m going to miss them yelling, and screaming, and laughing. There wasn’t a day that I was not without my kids. Never,” she said.
Now, a mother who lived for her four kids is trying to find strength.
The family had no life insurance. An account has been set up to help cover funeral expenses. Donations can be made to the Coleman-McAllister Fund at any Fifth Third Bank location.
