A Launceston man in his 50s, his 21-year-old son, who lived in Hobart, and a 30-year-old friend from Launceston, were found dead in their caravan at Miena, near Little Pine Lagoon, on Saturday morning.
Their bodies were discovered by the trio's hunting companions, a man and his nine-year-old son, who had spent the night in a tent nearby.
Police believe the men, who were camping in the Central Highlands of Tasmania, Australia's island state 149 miles (240km) south of the mainland, were killed by carbon monoxide poisoning.

just as important as a smoke detector is a CO2 detector. we always sleep with the windows cracked open and MAKE SURE the co2 detectors are working!
