The Vermont State Police have released the identity of the Albany, Vermont man who died of carbon monoxide poisoning from generator fumes after his home lost power.

Police say 60-year-old Mitchell Rowell died Monday as the result of accidental carbon monoxide poisoning.

Troopers were called to Rowell's home on Monday morning where he was found dead. A generator was running to provide electricity after he'd lost power in the ice storm.

Tens of thousands of Vermont homes lost power in the storm. As of Thursday afternoon, there were still about 1,200 customers without power, the vast majority in Franklin County.
