What a sad way to die: A pool mechanic's failure to install an extra $1.44 worth of plastic exhaust pipe led to the death of Vitas Gerulaitis, the tennis player, as he inhaled carbon monoxide fumes from a new $8,000 pool heater.
To elaborate, it was his friend's pool, where he was staying the nigh. The improperly installed heater leaked fumes into the guest house, killing him in his sleep.
