Thomas Cooper was killed on Jan. 31, 2025 , when the chamber where he was receiving hyperbaric oxygen therapy treatment burst into flames.

A single spark, it appears, ignited into a fully-involved fire that claimed Thomas ’ life within seconds , Michigan ’s Attorney General Dana Nessel said at a news conference Tuesday .

Tamela Peterson , the founder and chief executive of the Oxford Center , where the boy received his treatments, is charged with second -degree murder.

Aleta Moffitt, 60 , and Gary Marken , 65 , are charged with involuntary manslaughter.

The FDA has cleared hyperbaric chambers to be marketed as safe and effective for a list of 13 disorders.

The list doesn’t include many of the other disorders advertised by the Oxford Center .

Consumers should only use centres that are inspected and accredited by the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society.
