Weird

21-year-old Jason Ackerman, a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, was one of the victims found dead under an advertising balloon in Lutz over the weekend.

Ackerman and 21-year-old Sara Rydman were found dead Saturday morning underneath a deflated promotional balloon.

Major Bob Shrader of the Hillsborough County Sherrif’s Office said, "It's my understanding that it is or was filled with some kind of gas. What it was I don't know. We'll have to determine that through further investigation."

Investigators are still trying to determine the exact cause of death, but anti-drug experts say that there is a growing trend of people inhaling helium and other gasses in an attempt to get high.
