Apologies if this has already been posted somewhere.
The link below (I hope it works) is about a 9 year old boy who dies of carbon monoxide poisoning on a boat in OK.

https://www.nbcconnecticut.com/news/...-trip/2338142/

" After a day at the rear of a boat, Free's youngest child, Andrew Brady, 9, fell unconscious into the lake and never woke up again. It was later revealed that the boy, who loved the outdoors and his friends and family, had died of carbon monoxide poisoning, something Free said she had no idea could happen on a boat.

"One of the things we hadn’t considered was the long no-wake zone," Free explained, referring to the area of the lake where boats must maintain slower speeds."

"Traveling at slower speeds, like the Free family did for some of the day, can also increase the buildup of carbon monoxide."

This article made me think of the NWZ in Meredith.
