Ex-Premier League star, Radamal Falcao’s WAG, kids and in-laws ended up in hospital with suspected carbon monoxide poisoning.
Lorelei Tarón and her family began feeling dizzy hours after turning on a hot water tank.
The Argentine singer didn’t think anything of it at first, because she assumed it was altitude sickness.

Bogotá, Colombia, where they have been living for little over a month, lies 2,625 m (8,612 ft) above sea level.
It happened on Saturday (27 Jul).
Tarón, 36, told her 1.1m Instagram followers: “Several hours had passed since we turned it on, and we thought the smell was normal.
“I was exercising with Jedi while my dad was downstairs (where the water heater and the exhaust are).
“As time went on, I felt extremely dizzy but thought it was due to the altitude.
“Jedi went upstairs with my dad, where the girls were with my mum.
“When I went upstairs 10 minutes later, Jedi came crying, saying he felt unwell and wanted to vomit.
“I picked him up and sat in the girls’ room. Jedi fell asleep, which seemed very strange to me, and I started feeling sleepy and fell asleep too.
“Suddenly, a very strong odour filled the air, and the lady who helps us at home started shouting for us to get out quickly.
“We left because the smell was unbearable. Annette was crying and feeling sick, Jedi was asleep, and I felt like the world was spinning.”
Tarón and her family moved to Bogotá after Falcao, 38, joined top-flight Colombian side Millonarios from Rayo Vallecano in Spain’s La Liga.
The legendary striker is Colombia’s all-time top scorer and was Globe Soccer’s “best player of the year” in 2012.
He and his wife, who tied the knot in 2007, have five children.
Falcao wasn’t at home at the time of the leak, as reported on Need To Know.
Tarón went on: “My dad quickly went in to turn off the heater, but he was already vomiting and feeling weak. We then rushed to the hospital.
“My dad, Jedi, Annette, and I had the most severe symptoms.
“But shortly after, my mum, Domi, Heaven, and Desi arrived because they also started showing symptoms like vomiting and severe headaches.”
The family received medical treatment and are now recovered from the “little scare”.
Tarón said: “Thank God nothing serious happened, and it’s a good thing it wasn’t nighttime, or it could have been a very different story.
“We’re grateful to God for keeping us safe.
“We also want to thank all the doctors and nurses at the Marly Clinic in Chía for their excellent care and attention to my family.”
Falcao spent a season on loan at United in the 20114/15 season and played 26 times, scoring four times.
He was then at the Blues the next year – again on loan – but only played 10 matches, finding the net just once.
