5-Yr-Old Boy Killed After Hyperbaric Chamber in Michigan Explodes With Him Inside [VIDEO]

Shortly before 8 a.m., a 5-year-old boy from Royal Oak, MI, was inside a hyperbaric chamber at The Oxford Center, a medical facility at 165 Kirts Blvd in Troy, MI, where he was being treated when the chamber exploded with the young boy inside.

Troy Police and the Troy Fire Department responded immediately to the scene, where they discovered the boy was already deceased. According to the Troy Police, “The mother suffered injuries to her arms as she was standing next to the cylinder when it exploded.” The name of the 5-year-old boy has not yet been released. Please pray for this little boy and his family.

Troy Police Department’s Lieutenant Ben Hancock addressed the media following the horrific explosion. “A hyperbaric chamber contains 100% oxygen, which is up to five times the amount of oxygen in a normal room. The presence of such a high amount of oxygen in a pressurized environment can make it extremely combustible,” Troy Fire Department Lieutenant Keith Young told the media. “Our initial research shows that this is not a common incident, and the scene remains under active investigation,” he added.

This informative video reveals how safety precautions are supposed to be taken to protect the patient. There have been no reports  In the video, Erika Jordan, founder of Hyperbaric Healing Treatment Center, explains how “prior to putting a patient in there,” they “maximize the chamber depth, so it’s as deep as it goes, so in the event of a fire, we have enough time to safely get the patient out of there.”
