The Olmsted County Sheriff’s Office is continuing to investigate a death over the investigated Holzer and Brandon Mueller’s deaths in late Jan. 2022, after receiving a medical call.
When law enforcement arrived they found three men unconscious in the garage.
The sheriff’s office said a deputy responding noted the garage smelled like a gas exhaust and told the woman to open the garage door and let it air out. A gas furnace had been running in the garage and, initially, responding agencies thought this could be carbon monoxide poisoning.
Mueller was pronounced dead on the scene, Holzer was taken to a hospital and later pronounced dead, and a third man recovered.
Initial autopsy results ruled out carbon monoxide poisoning.
