On April 20th, a new coroner's report is giving fresh details on the tragic deaths of John J. Ruskey and his wife Kristen, the innovative farmers, behind French coffee and parents to three teens. The couple was found unresponsive on February 8th at a friend's home in California, with their passing ruled accidental from carbon monoxide, poisoning mixed with ethanol effects. That night, they were at a big birthday bash in Cambria, with 50 to 60 guests. About 2am, folks saw them head to their room, but by 4.30am, Kristen called 911, worried J was seizing or on a bad trip. From a shrooms-laced chocolate bar, the family is heartbroken, calling J. and Kristen the ultimate pillars of love and support, always ready to lend a hand. Their three kids are carrying on their legacy, and a goal fund me has pulled in over $192,000 to help them through this. Others found no trauma, just high carbon monoxide levels in their systems, Kristen's blood

alcohol at 0.04, and zero drugs in the room or car. Medics urged hospital care after that early call, but J turned it down, and they went back to sleep, tragic how things unfolded so fast. This report locks in the accidental ruling, reminding us how sneaky carbon monoxide can be, even in a house full of people. Stay safe out there, checking those detectors.
