Richmond, UT NEWS – Carbon monoxide exposure at an apartment Saturday afternoon, October 10, 2026, is being investigated as potential cause of death after multiple people were lost.

As reported by CacheValleyDaily.com, “[d]eputies with the Cache County Sheriff’s Office responded to the three-unit apartment complex at approximately 12:15 p.m. Saturday after neighbors reported hearing carbon monoxide alarms sounding for an extended period. A neighbor entered the home and discovered a 43-year-old man deceased in the garage. First responders subsequently searched the residence and found four children dead inside: boys aged 16 and 11, and girls aged 12 and 5.”

According to the report, “[a family member] identified two of the children as her son, Jesús Gabriel Alejandro Soto, 11, and daughter, Gretshen Sadashi Alejandro Soto, 5. Soto Orejon said her children were spending the weekend with their father.”

IdahoStateJournal.com is reporting, “[d]eputies and firefighters evacuated both adjoining apartments. A man from one of those apartments was taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital for possible carbon monoxide exposure.”

The cause of the potential carbon monoxide exposure is still under investigation.

Potential Legal Claims for Family of Jesús Gabriel Alejandro Soto and Gretshen Sadashi Alejandro Soto?

Our Legal Take

FORMER CLIENT: I had lawyers calling me, and friends telling me who I should hire…I trusted in The Murray Law Firm and I’m glad I did.

As authorities continue their investigation, premises liability attorneys with The Murray Law Firm question whether a lack of life safety measures at the complex may have contributed to this incident.

What life safety measures, such as working carbon monoxide detectors and a resident warning plan, were in place and operational at the time of the incident?
When was the last inspection performed on the property?
Were any life safety measures added after any previous inspections?
Was the property owner aware of any inadequate life safety measures present prior to this incident?
After learning of any prior warnings, did the property owner take measures to properly notify and war existing residents?

As details of this fire continue to emerge, The Murray Law Firm suggests that it is possible that the apartment owner failed to undertake proper safety measures to protect those residents and guests legally on the premises. Under certain State law, the owner and management company of an apartment complex have a duty to protect those on the property and to keep the premises safe. If the owner or manager fails in this duty, they may be held civilly liable for any injuries or wrongful deaths that occur as a consequence. Should the apartment complex be found at fault, the family of Jesús Gabriel Alejandro Soto and Sadashi Alejandro Soto may elect to hold the owner and management company civilly liable for their loss and suffering.

As insurance companies and unscrupulous property owners are often concerned with limiting their financial exposure in these incidents, it is crucial that the family of Jesús Gabriel Alejandro Soto and Gretshen Sadashi Alejandro Soto retain an experienced premises liability firm as soon as possible to ensure all evidence, such as a faulty fire alarm or a poor evacuation plan, is preserved and the families best interests are protected. The Murray Law Firm has extensive experience in premises liability and apartment negligence cases, such as this, and we offer our legal expertise, if needed.
