Authorities said that the heating system in Goldstein’s New Hampshire vacation home at 2962 Province Lake Road in Wakefield malfunctioned. The faulty system led to carbon monoxide leaking into the vacation home.
The Newton family of four was supposed to attend a holiday event in New Hampshire, New Hampshire State Fire Marshal Sean Toomey said in a press conference in December.
When they didn’t show up, family members requested local authorities check up on the Goldsteins at their vacation home, Toomey said.
There, authorities found the Goldsteins dead, according to the fire marshal. The home didn’t have any working carbon monoxide alarms inside.
The family died overnight, Toomey added. Three of them were found dead in a bedroom, while one was found in the bathroom.
Carbon monoxide deaths in New Hampshire have spiked in 2024, with 10 cases reported this year, according to Toomey. There are usually two to three cases per year.

Join us for a community conversation exploring how land conservation supports thriving communities, healthy ecosystems, and local economies. Recent research from Maine highlights the growing economic value of conserved lands — from supporting recreation, forestry, agriculture, and tourism to protecting clean water, storing carbon, and strengthening climate resilience. The findings reveal something important: protecting natural landscapes is not only good for the environment, but also for the people and communities that depend on them.
Together, we’ll explore what this research means both regionally and here at home. How do conserved lands shape our quality of life, local economy, and sense of place? How can communities balance growth, conservation, and long-term sustainability? And what role can each of us play in protecting the landscapes that support both nature and people?
At each “Let’s Talk Nature” gathering, we share a short article in advance and come together for an informal, welcoming discussion. Each session stands on its own, and everyone is welcome. No expertise needed. Bring your curiosity and a willingness to listen and share. Drinks and cookies provided.
