CO2 can kill - Dont underestimate it

An accident occurred in a building where dry ice was produced and involved a CO2 storage tank.
A hissing noise was coming from the valve of a tank . This was a leak resulting from the power being switched off days earlier. The power switch off also unfortunately cut the power to the CO2 indicator in the room. A security guard who came to investigate the hissing noise,  died after exposure to high CO2 concentration.
