4 Arrested In Hyperbaric Chamber Explosion That Killed Boy, 5, In Oakland County: Police

TROY, MI — Four people have been arrested in connection with a hyperbaric chamber explosion that killed a 5-year-old boy in Troy earlier this year, according to police.

No details on the arrests or the charges had been released as of Tuesday morning.

The 5-year-old Royal Oak boy was inside the chamber at the Oxford Center, located on Kirts Boulevard near Livernois Road, the morning of Jan. 31 when the explosion happened.

The boy's mom, who was standing next to the chamber, was also injured in the explosion, according to police.

Fire officials quickly contained the blaze to just a single room and no one else was injured in the incident, according to police.

Officials were still investigating the cause of the explosion.

Officials still have not said what the child was being treated for while in the chamber, which has five times the amount of oxygen in a normal room, making it highly combustible.

The family has hired Fieger Law to represent the 5-year-old boy and his mother.

A GoFundMe has been started to raise money to help the family.

Police are expected to release more information about the arrests Tuesday.
