When emergency officials arrived at the scene, police say they found several people suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning.
Seven people were taken to hospitals for treatment, including a 25-year-old man, who was pronounced dead on arrival.
Police say emergency officials determined that the poisoning was caused by a vehicle left running in the garage rather than a gas leak.
A police spokesperson said investigators do not consider the incident to be suspicious.
