“For him to reach out and do that, I don’t even have the words. I wish I could just give him a hug,” victim Kole Sova’s mother, Meeka Sova, told a local Michigan site.

The three young men identified as Dawson Brown, 20; Kole Sova, 19; and Richie Mays Jr., 20, were found dead inside their trailer on Saturday.

Authorities believe that the men were most likely poisoned by carbon monoxide from a portable generator that was too close to their trailer, which was believed to have been leaking. Two additional young men survived the carbon monoxide emissions in the trailer and were hospitalized in critical condition.

“It’s just a freak accident,” Sova’s father, Jerry Sova, said. “For all those decisions to line up to get to this tragedy it just boggles your mind – of the thousands of generators and campers, they were the ones that it hit.”

On Monday, the Faster Horses official Twitter page released a statement about the incident:
