Cause of death in PGA Tour golfer Grayson Murray’s suicide revealed: Report Back to video
According to the report, Murray died from suspected carbon monoxide poisoning after filling his townhouse with exhaust fumes.
It is believed that Murray, 30, left his Land Rover running in his ground-floor garage before heading upstairs as it pumped fumes into the three-story property in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla.
A neighbor reportedly heard prolonged revving at around 12:30 a.m. on Saturday which then stopped as they approached to investigate the noise.
“My thought was maybe it was a kid revving a car. I went outside to investigate but by then there was no sound,” the neighbor said.
Carbon monoxide alarms drew the attention of locals the following morning and police were called to the townhouse where Murray lived with his fiancee, Christiana Ritchie.

Murray is believed to have been found dead in the main bedroom upstairs and his family later confirmed his death was a suicide.
“What I later heard is that he started the car in the garage and went upstairs. He went to sleep and never woke up. People only found out because the CO alarm kept going off,” the neighbour continued.
A Palm Beach Gardens Police Department spokesman said there is an inquiry into Murray’s death.
“We are conducting an investigation into the matter that occurred in our city,” he said.
A police statement added: ‘The decedent was discovered on Saturday, May 25, 2024, at approximately 11:00 am. 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.”

Murray’s death came a day after he unexpectedly withdrew from the second round of the Charles Schwab Challenge. He had told his playing partners he was feeling unwell.
“We have spent the last 24 hours trying to come to terms with the fact that our son is gone,” Murray’s parents, Eric and Terry, said in a statement Sunday.
“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.”

Murray previously has spoken of his battles with depression and rampant alcoholism. He has said that, in the past, he would drink during tournaments and play while hungover.
He had credited his family and fiancee for helping him get sober and requalify for the PGA Tour. Earlier this year, he won the Sony Open – his first Tour victory in seven years.
