A Rhode Island college football player has died from accidental carbon monoxide poisoning after running his car to charge his phone. On Monday, first responders found 21-year-old Joseph Boutros unresponsive in his car during a major snowstorm and power outage. Police say snow blocked the exhaust pipe and fumes built up around the vehicle. Salve Regina University says Boutros is a sophomore lineman and a beloved teammate. Experts say carbon monoxide risks rise in winter and during outages. The gas has no smell or color. It can cause headaches, confusion, sleepiness and death.

The California program that identifies and treats cases of dangerous infant botulism also comforts families by sending silly cards on their babies' first birthdays. Staff at the state's Infant Botulism Treatment and Prevention Program decorate and mail roughly 200 cards a year to celebrate the recovery of children affected by the rare condition. In recent months, that has included dozens of U.S. babies affected by a botulism outbreak tied to contaminated ByHeart infant formula. Federal health officials continue to investigate the source of the outbreak that sickened more than 50 infants.

Mourners in Moscow have marked two years since Russian opposition leder Alexei Navalny died in an Arctic prison, as a new European analysis fuels claims he was killed by poisoning. On Monday, his family, supporters, and several European diplomats laid flowers at his grave under heavy security. His mother says Russian authorities killed him. The Kremlin says Navalny died of natural causes. On Saturday, the U.K., France, Germany, Sweden, and the Netherlands said lab tests found a rare toxin in samples from his body. Epibatidine is linked to poison dart frogs. Navalny’s allies remain in exile and struggle to unite.
