In the guest room, they discovered the body near some cans of compressed air. The existence of the cans in the room before Raucscher’s stay at the property is unknown as of yet. The late 35-year-old may have ingested the compressed air contained in some of the cans, according to local media, but the Prescott Police Department has not yet confirmed this. Inhaling canned air is exceedingly risky due to its highly poisonous composition, claims PubMed Central. The hazardous substances can result in numerous fatal conditions if inhaled, including serious cardiac conditions, choking on one’s own vomit, liver damage, coma, brain damage, and suffocation.
