"This leads us to an investigative line in which it seems that this person could have died from inhaling these dangerous gases," Zúñiga said.
Zúñiga added that there was a "specialized machine room" next to the room where Gardner was staying that he said is "believed to have some type of contamination" that led to the high levels of carbon monoxide.
