The three United States Marines found dead in a car outside a North Carolina convenience store suffered carbon monoxide poisoning, the Pender County Sheriff’s Office said Wednesday.
The lance corporals, who were found on Sunday, were identified as Tanner J. Kaltenberg, 19, of Madison, Wisconsin; Merax C. Dockery, 23, of Pottawatomie, Oklahoma; and Ivan R. Garcia, 23, of Naples, Florida.
“I am saddened by the timeless and tragic death of these three young men, who served our country honorably,” said Sheriff Alan W. Cutler. “Our thoughts and prayers remain with their families and colleagues during this time.”
USA Today reports:
The Pender County Sheriff’s Office said deputies were responding to a report of a missing person when they found the three Marines early Sunday at a Speedway convenience store along a highway in Hampstead, North Carolina, about 30 miles south of Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune.
A woman called the office that morning indicating that her son, a Marine, had failed to arrive on a flight in Oklahoma the night prior, the sheriff’s office said. At the time, sheriff’s deputies were also working on a separate missing person report, the office said.
The office said it received a second call later that morning indicating the missing person had been located at the Speedway and that he, along with two other Marines, were deceased inside of a car.
