Grayson Murray’s cause of death suspected to be carbon monoxide poisoning from his car - Reports

Grayson Murray died on Saturday, 25 May. According to the Daily Mail, the PGA Tour golfer died from suspected carbon monoxide poisoning. His parents had earlier released a statement confirming the golfer “took his own life.”

According to the Daily Mail, Murray died from suspected carbon monoxide poisoning after his Florida townhouse filled with the exhaust fumes from his Land Rover. The outlet reportedly spoke to Murray’s neighbor (anonymous), who claims that the golfer left his car running in the garage for a long while. The ‘worried neighbor’ reportedly heard the vehicle ‘revving’ for a while.

As per reports by Daily Mail and NY Post, Police were called to the residence which Grayson Murray shared with fiancée Christina Ritchie, who wasn’t home, at 10:49 a.m. on May 25.

The neighbor reportedly heard a carbon monoxide alarm go off in the 30-year-old player’s house. The claim from the neighbor was revealed in the outlet’s report on May 28, as the Palm Beach County Medical Examiner’s Office continues to withhold details of Murray’s death.

The Palm Beach Gardens Police Department, in an emailed press release to Heavy, noted that the agency is conducting a “death investigation” into Murray’s passing. However, the office noted that they do not suspect “foul play.”

The Palm Beach Gardens Police Department wrote in an email, released by Heavy:

“The Palm Beach Gardens Police Department is investigating the death of resident Grayson C. Murray, a white male, 10/01/1993, which occurred inside a residence in Palm Beach Gardens. The decedent was discovered on Saturday, May 25, 2024, at approximately 11:00 a.m.

“The initial inquiry does not reveal signs of foul play. There is no apparent risk to the public, and no further information will be released as the investigation is being conducted.”

It's a nightmare… Life wasn't always easy for Grayson, and although he took his own life, we know he rests peacefully now.”
