New details about a tragic incident in Mt. Carmel that happened last Thursday and claimed the life of a 6-year-old.
Coroner Shaun Keepes confirms he was called to the home where 6-year-old Gunner Hyatt passed away.
He says preliminary findings of the autopsy indicate the cause of death is consistent with suffocation due to a Mylar-helium filled balloon.
The coroner’s office is hoping to raise public awareness about the potential dangers of those balloons.
Gunner’s obituary states that he was a joyful and fun-spirited little boy whose laughter brightened every room.
His family has set up a GoFundMe page.
