POSTED: 7:29 am PDT August 23, 2004

DAVIS, Calif. -- University of California, Davis officials say seven research
monkeys
died after a heater malfunctioned.

Technicians at the Animal Resources Service facility discovered six of the
female monkeys
dead during a routine check Saturday.

A ventilator failed and began blowing hot air into the room -- raising the
temperature to
about 115 degrees. The seventh monkey had to be euthanized. An eighth was
treated for
heat exposure and survived.

University officials are investigating.
