Policemen were reportedly called to the scene but they were hesitant to act due to a fear of Ebola.
The circumstances surrounding the family’s death are still uncertain as some have said that they died of food poisoning while yet others believe it was as a result of carbon monoxide poisoning from generator fumes.
