Update from KUSA.

PITKIN COUNTY - The sheriff's office has identified four family members found dead in a home east of Aspen Friday.

The Pitkin County Sheriff's Office says Parker Lofgren, 39, Caroline Lofgren, 42, and their children, Owen, 10, and Sophie, 8, were visiting Aspen for the Thanksgiving weekend. Family friends found their bodies Friday.

The sheriff's office believes the hot water and snowmelt systems weren't working correctly, and caused extreme levels of carbon monoxide inside the house. Toxicology reports could take up to two weeks, according to Deputy Coroner Dr. Chuck Johnson.

The sheriff's office says the Lofgrens are from the Denver area.
