Tragic Gas Station Incident Claims Lives of 3 Marines

Three Marines stationed at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina were found dead inside a car at a gas station, and autopsies have revealed that they died of carbon monoxide poisoning. The cause of death has not been officially ruled as accidental, but authorities believe it was likely an accidental event. No weapons, illegal drugs, or evidence of an attack were found, and the Marines did not appear to have died by suicide. The victims were identified as Tanner J. Kaltenberg, Merax C. Dockery, and Ivan R. Garcia. The Pender County Sheriff's Office expressed condolences to the families and colleagues of the deceased Marines.
