64% Carboxyhemoglobin Saturation: The Deadly Statistic in Teen’s Tragic Death

In a tragic incident, carbon monoxide poisoning led to the death of 14-year-old Miller Gardner. The Judicial Investigation Agency in Costa Rica confirmed that Miller’s carboxyhemoglobin saturation was at a lethal 64%. A saturation above 50% is considered deadly. The teen was staying at a hotel in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica, when he passed away on March 21. An autopsy revealed a layer on his organs, indicative of high levels of the poisonous gas. Initially, asphyxiation was suspected, but this was ruled out after further investigation. The family had also considered food poisoning as a possible cause after feeling ill following a meal at a nearby restaurant. The source of the carbon monoxide was believed to be from a machine room adjacent to the room where Miller was staying.

I drink coffee and celcius all day. I think I better stop doing that. . I probably drink 600 to 700mg of caffeine a day. A fitness and caffeine enthusiast died at the age of 28 from a heart attack — and her devastated mother believes energy drinks are to blame.
