More information about Melanie Rauscher’s unexplained death

When the owners of the house where Melanie Rauscher was caring for the dog returned from their vacation on July 17, they discovered her body. The corpse was discovered in the guest room, close to cans of compressed air. It is still unknown if the cans were there in the room previous to Raucscher’s visit. According to local media, the Prescott Police Department is still investigating if the late 35-year-old swallowed the compressed air in some of the cans. Inhaling canned air is exceedingly harmful owing to its highly poisonous composition, according to PubMed Central. Toxic components ingested may induce serious cardiac problems, choking on one’s own vomit, liver damage, coma, brain damage, asphyxia, and a variety of other deadly conditions. According to reports, the Yavapai County Medical Examiner will conduct an autopsy to determine the official cause of death.
