A 5-year-old Michigan boy who was killed in a hyperbaric chamber last week has been identified.

This facility offers treatment to children dealing with various conditions such as autism, ADHD, and cancer.

Upon arrival at the scene of the explosion, firefighters discovered Cooper’s lifeless body inside the hyperbaric chamber used for administering oxygen therapy to patients. The fire resulting from the explosion was swiftly brought under control.

Despite being uncommon, accidents involving hyperbaric chambers are infrequent occurrences. These chambers are filled with 100 percent oxygen, a significantly higher concentration than that found in an average room. Consequently, the atmosphere within these chambers is highly prone to combustion, as elaborated by the Troy police.

“Our initial research shows that this is not a common incident and the scene remains under active investigation,” Troy Fire Department Lt. Ken Young said, per MLive.

A spokesperson for The Oxford Center told the Detroit Free Press that the cause of last week’s explosion remains unknown.
