Father, daughter from Discovery Bay found dead in houseboat Friday; CO gas poisoning suspected

July 9, 2019 By Publisher 19 Comments

From San Joaquin County Sheriff

Shortly after 4:00 A.M. on Friday, July 5, a 911 call was made by a boater, stating she found her fiancé and his daughter deceased on their boat. The boat was anchored near Ski Beach, east of Discovery Bay and west of Stockton in the Delta.

John LeBarre (57 years old) and his daughter, Denielle LeBarre (26 years old), both of Discovery Bay, were found unresponsive. This is potentially an accidental carbon monoxide death investigation, exact cause of death is not known at this time.

This is a very unfortunate case, please consider the following: Most newer models of houseboats have CO sensors and alarms to warn of CO buildup and pooling. Rerouted exhausts, emission control devices, and generator interlocks combined lead to a reduction of over 99 percent of CO buildup and pooling, according to the CDC.

    You could at least spell their names correctly

      Apologies. The spelling of Mr. LeBarre’s last name has been corrected under the photo. Thank you for catching that. The spelling of their last names in the press release was done by the San Joaquin County Sheriff’s office. But, I corrected those and capitalized the “B”, as well.

    Wow. I recognize this man LeBarre.
    He hurt several women through dating sites. Around 2008 – 2010 I believe..
    He’d brag about being a Christian.yet was incredibly cruel.

    Can’t help but think Karma finally caught up with him.

    Prayers for his soul and for his daughter.

      I’m sorry, but this is inappropriate. Why are you speaking on a person who is deceased? What happens in their personal life does not need to be aired out. You must’ve been someone he wasn’t interested in and you’re still booty hurt about it? With your specific dates. You’re a bitter b$&%#

      This is inappropriate!!!! For someone to air out dirty laundry on the deceased has some problems. The fact that there are dates noted, this person must be one he wasn’t interested in. You need to move on.

      John didn’t brag about being a Christian. He was a Christian. He was also one of the sweetest men I have met who treated my friend so sweet and so kind and went above and beyond for her daily! I will not sit back and let you slander his name and speak ill of him because you happen to be one of the females he wouldn’t give the time of day! Must be why you are total Bitter Betty! Take your negativity somewhere else! Matter of fact! With all your negativity you better watch what you say! Karma isn’t very nice…and God is always watching. So I suggest you reevaluate your life and get one.

      This is the rudest and most cruel thing I have ever read on the internet. Keep your petty drama to yourself and not for the world to see. This man died. The least you could do is keep your mouth shut

    Not necessay to make this comment, really Christians are not perfect, and he wasn’t but he was a good man. Maybe you should not repeat what you hear. Very hurtful plus during these dates you post he was in a committed relationship whom he married.
