Dangerous levels of carbon monoxide were detected at a Hampton Inn in Marysville, Ohio.
(CNN)At least four people have been released from an Ohio hospital after breathing life-threatening levels of carbon monoxide in a Hampton Inn pool area.
They are among 13 people, including an unconscious 2-year-old girl, who were hospitalized in the incident Saturday night in Marysville, Ohio.
Two critical patients -- now stabilized -- and five serious-but-stable patients have been transferred to tertiary care facilities, according to Melanie Ziegler, VP of Community Engagement for Memorial Health who spoke to CNN Sunday morning.
The hotel had been evacuated Saturday after a 911 call reported the young girl unconscious, Police Chief Tony Brooks said.
"Shortly after this call, the local 911 Center received additional calls (referencing) unconscious subjects in and around the pool area," Brooks told CNN via email. "Others described symptoms such as dizziness and a burning in their throat."
Nine people, including the 2-year-old, were taken to local hospitals, and four others arrived to the hospital on their own, Brooks said. Two other people received medical evaluations at the scene and were not hospitalized.
"We did have life threatening levels of carbon monoxide in the pool area of the hotel and we transported several people to local hospitals," Marysville Fire Chief Jay Riley told CNN in an email. "We continue the investigation into the source and (are) glad that no one died as a result of their exposure."
Marysville is about 30 miles northwest of Columbus.
Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas that can cause sudden illness and death. Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include headache, dizziness, weakness, upset stomach, vomiting, chest pain as well as confusion, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The woman who reported being “groped” in virtual reality late last year has come forward to discuss her horrifying experience.
“Within 60 seconds of joining — I was verbally and sexually harassed — 3-4 male avatars, with male voices, essentially, but virtually gang raped my avatar and took photos — as I tried to get away they yelled — ‘don’t pretend you didn’t love it’ and ‘go rub yourself off to the photo,’” Nina Jane Patel, 43, recalled in a Medium postrecounting the “nightmare” she experienced as a beta tester on the VR platform Horizon Worlds, created by Meta, the company formerly known as Facebook.
“A horrible experience that happened so fast and before I could even think about putting the safety barrier in place,” the London-based mother wrote, referring to Meta’s Safe Zone feature, which allows users to place a block on interaction with other users.

In December, the company revealed that a then-unnamed woman had been virtually “groped” on the platform. While she published her story on Medium at the time to little fanfare, Patel is making her voice louder to publicly discuss her concerns with the platform.
“Harassment in the metaverses is a serious issue that the industry needs to come together on to put in place the correct security controls and safety measures,” Patel wrote in an emailed statement to The Post. “This is/will continue to be problematic for both men and women (adults) as our world fast moves from the 2D internet as we know it — into the 3D internet space (The Metaverse).”

She’s also safeguarding her future and the future of many others with Kabuni, an educational metaverse equipped with parental controls she is creating for children.
“The more damaging lens of course will be on our children who will start to use the Metaverse(s) more and more over the coming years,” she wrote.
“The inevitable move into the Metaverse now causes further concerns if not properly regulated and controlled for this impressionable age group on the back of solid research, science, data and evidence-based methodologies,” Patel added. “This is the foundation upon which Kabuni has been established and is currently working with educators around the world to shape a safer Metaverse for children aged 8-16.”

Indeed, the assault she endured on the platform has left her concerned about the metaverse’s level of safety — for adults and children alike — and anxious to prevent others from having similar experiences.

“Virtual reality has essentially been designed so the mind and body can’t differentiate virtual/digital experiences from real,” she wrote on Medium. “In some capacity, my physiological and psychological response was as though it happened in reality.”
Joe Osborne, a Meta spokesperson, told The Post that the company will make “improvements” to ensure the safety of all.
“We’re sorry to hear this happened. We want everyone in Horizon Venues to have a positive experience, easily find the safety tools that can help in a situation like this — and help us investigate and take action,” Osborne said. “Horizon Venues should be safe, and we are committed to building it that way. We will continue to make improvements as we learn more about how people interact in these spaces, especially when it comes to helping people report things easily and reliably.”
Nigerian businessman arraigned for death of American stripper in Ghana

R.I.P. TYGER BOOTY
#justyce4tygerbooty
Rotimi Olaleye
A Nigerian man has died after spending the night with a transgender prostitute, Ayriana Hamler.
It was gathered that the married Nigerian man, Rotimi Olaleye's body was found lying outside of his vehicle in a secluded parking lot near the infamous “Bissonnet track” earlier this month, Houston police said.
Hamler has now been accused of killing Olaleye who was her first time customer.
Ayriana Hamler, 25, was charged with the murder of 49-year-old Rotimi Olaleye on January 8, 2022.
Investigators reviewed surveillance video from several businesses in the area, which appears to outline movements of the suspect and the victim.
According to court documents, at around 11:55 pm, a black Nissan Altima driven by Hamler, parked near a Chevron gas station located in the 9700 block of Bissonnet Street near Country Creek Drive. The area is known for high levels of prostitution.
Hamler is seen exiting the vehicle and walking toward the west end of the lot. Olaleye, who was in a 2011 Chevrolet Malibu, drove up and parked in a dark alleyway near the gas station. He exited the driver’s side and entered the back left side of his vehicle and Hamler got in on the right side, police said.
It was not known what happened between the two, but, at some point, Olaleye exited his vehicle and fell to the ground.
When officers arrived at the scene, they found Olaleye unresponsive and pantless. He had been shot multiple times in the chest, according to documents.
Two .40 caliber-shell-casings were found on the back floorboard of the victim’s vehicle, in addition to a bullet hole in the roof.
Upon further investigation, police identified Hamler as the suspect in the case. Charges were filed, but she remains on the loose.
Hamler was last seen wearing a black sweater with white spotted-designs, black underpants, and black high boots.
Records show that she was previously arrested and charged with prostitution in 2021.
However, according to reports, it was said that Hamler was born male, which means she is a crossed gender. A fight probably ensued when Olaleye discovered that he was about to make love to a fellow male before he was shot.
For the record, I’d like to state that I’ve never let the police find a dead transgender hooker in my trunk.
