Grayson Murray Suspected To Have Died From Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
After the parents of Grayson Murray shared a statement explaining that the former PGA Tour winner had committed suicide, more details about the 30-year-old's passing have been revealed.
According to the Daily Mail, Murray died from suspected carbon monoxide poisoning inside of his Palm Beach Gardens townhouse. The outlet reported that Murray's home was filled with exhaust fumes from his Land Rover that was left with the engine on in the ground-floor garage.

A neighbor reportedly heard revving of an engine at the residence around 12:30 AM on Saturday, May 25, but when he approached the home the noise had stopped. A neighbor later heard the sound of a carbon monoxide alarm going off before calling the police at 10:49 AM.
Murray withdrew from the Charles Schwab Challenge in Texas during Friday's second round citing an illness. The next day, he was gone.
"We have spent the last 24 hours trying to come to terms with the fact that our son is gone. It’s surreal that we not only have to admit it to ourselves, but that we also have to acknowledge it to the world. It’s a nightmare," the statement from Murray's parents read.
"We would like to thank the PGA TOUR and the entire world of golf for the outpouring of support. Life wasn’t always easy for Grayson, and although he took his own life, we know he rests peacefully now."
Murray had been open about dealing with addiction, anxiety, and depression throughout his adult life. In January, after winning the Sony Open in a playoff, he reported that he was eight months sober at the time. He had also spoken incredibly highly of his fiancee and how he had found Jesus Christ through his struggles.
