Three people were found dead Friday on Dallas Lake Road in Hixson, according to the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office.

A medical examiner on the scene said he suspects the three adults may have died of carbon monoxide poisoning.

The bodies, two male and one female, were found around 1 p.m. in a red metal shed on a property in the 1500 block of Dallas Lake Road, medical investigator Tim Carroll said in an interview at the scene.
