CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Police said an autopsy has confirmed that acute carbon monoxide poisoning was the cause of death for five people who were found dead in a trailer while camping at a biker event in Clarksville.
Clarksville police said Monday in a news release that the medical examiner found over 45 percent of carbon monoxide saturation levels in their blood. Police said the deaths were accidental after a generator was found near a vent for the trailer and all the windows and doors were shut.
Levels greater than 10 percent can cause adverse reactions such as headache and nausea; anything over 40 percent could potentially be fatal.
The victims were 39-year-old Timothy Bryan Stone, 32-year-old Allison Elizabeth Bagwell-Wyatt, 38-year-old James Franklin Wall; and a married couple, Jonathan Michael Over and his wife Kathryn, both 27. They were found September 18 at the Clarksville Speedway during a Bikers Who Care event that raises money for needy children.
