Generator Kills Yachtie


Recommended Posts

Brief summary of the facts: An ex Wellingtonian bloke, living aboard in Queensland, decided to watch the footy. So plugged a telly in to a petrol generator in the engine bay of his boat. Found dead the next day from carbon monoxide poisoning. 

 

So sad fro his family. But does it warrant a darwin award?

Well that's a strange way to find out a friend died, I knew and worked with Todd in Queensland we were leaving to go sailing just after he split from his wife about 13 years ago and he talked about how he would like to do something like that, so I guess he did. He was a nice guy, quite quiet just a genuine sort of bloke.
