Autopsy confirms Yankovic parents died from carbon monoxide poisoning

SAN DIEGO – Autopsy results confirmed today that carbon monoxide poisoning killed the parents of comic "Weird Al" Yankovic in their North County home last week.

Visiting relatives found Nick Louis Yankovic, 86, and his 81-year-old wife, Mary, dead in their home on Foxfire Lane in Fallbrook on Friday afternoon.

The house was full of smoke, apparently from a fireplace that had been used with its chimney flue inadvertently left closed.
