Carbon monoxide poisoning apparent causeThe Associated Press

Nick and Mary Yankovic were found dead Friday in their suburban San Diego home by relatives who were worried because they had not seen the couple in a while, said sheriff’s Sgt. Conrad Grayson.
Paramedics found Nick Yankovic, 86, in a chair in the front living room. His 81-year-old wife was on the bathroom floor.
A wood fire had been set recently in the fireplace, Grayson said.
“The house was full of smoke when they opened the door,” Grayson said, adding that the family members found the flue closed.
Attempts to reach “Weird Al” Yankovic, 44, by telephone through his agency, the William Morris Agency, were unsuccessful Saturday.
A neighbor described Yankovic’s parents as nice people who were proud of their son.
“Everybody who came to the neighborhood knew Nick,” said John Buehman, who lives across the street. “They’re going to be missed, big time.”
Yankovic was scheduled to appear Monday in Grand Forks, N.D., as part of a tour for his new album, “Poodle Hat.”

Why would they make that story an advertisement.
That seems kind of insensitive.

Weird Al Honors Parents' Memory With
'Tears In Heaven' Parody
FALLBROOK, CA—Zany, mourning entertainer "Weird Al" Yankovic has parodied Eric Clapton's eulogy song "Tears In Heaven" in loving tribute to his parents, who recently died of carbon-monoxide poisoning in their San Diego home, a spokesman for Yankovic said Monday. "Al's hurting deeply right now, and this is his way of honoring Nick and Mary," Karl Tuft said of the song in which a subdued Yankovic sings, "First you lit some flames / Then the smoke stopped your breathin' / Carbon mono's th'way you went... / Up to heaven" over a somber, minor-key accordion melody. Tuft added that the best way for Yankovic to give voice to his pain and loss was by altering the voice of Clapton's pain and loss.

Obviously, Weird Al was not your son. How do you know that his parents would have enjoyed it?
