    Princess Anne — Eight people were found dead inside a private residence in Maryland.

    Seven of the eight victims are juveniles. Rodney Todd, 36, and his two sons and five daughters were last seen alive on March 28, the Associated Press reported.

    The cause of death appears to be from carbon monoxide poisoning but is not confirmed. Investigators do not suspect foul play.

    There was no electricity in the home. Todd was running a gas-powered generator in the kitchen of the home.

    No further details were available.

    Maryland law bars utilities from terminating electric service for nonpayment of bills from Nov. 1 through March 31 without an affidavit filed to the Public Service Commission.

    Princess Anne is a town in Somerset County, Maryland, United States, and also serves as its county seat. The population was 3,290 at the 2010 census.

    Princess Anne is included in the Salisbury, Maryland-Delaware Metropolitan Statistical Area.
