TOLEDO, Ohio — A safety check at a west Toledo apartment unit resulted in the admittance of one officer into the hospital for possible ammonia exposure Wednesday night.
Toledo police crews responded to an apartment in the 1500 block of Brooke Park Drive at approximately 9:21 p.m. after receiving a call regarding a "strong odor of death" in the apartment.

During the investigation, an officer began experiencing difficulty breathing and respiratory irritation. He transported himself to a hospital for possible ammonia exposure, where another officer met with him to complete exposure paperwork the report stated.
No serious injury is suspected, police said.
