Bradenton, FL – A woman was found dead Monday evening inside her garage in Bradenton.
Deputies said Tracy Hamilton, 45, of Bradenton may have died of carbon monoxide poisoning in her garage located in the 6300 block of 11th St Ct E.
Family members believe Hamilton left her car running in the garage and might have been afraid to turn it off because it was having problems recently.
The family said it looked like she went inside to cook something and didn’t realize the danger.
Neighbors said there was also a dog in the house but it was alive. The dog was taken to a vet for further treatment.
The sheriff’s office said it won’t know definitively what caused Hamilton’s death until a further investigation and autopsy is completed.
