LANCASTER - Authorities say the death of a Lancaster man found in a storage unit two weeks ago was ruled accidental. Christian Robinette, 41, was reported missing by his wife, Renee Vest, on Jan. 31. He was found dead in his pickup truck Feb. 5 at the family's storage unit at East End Storage on Richmond Street. Garrard County Coroner Daryl Hodge said toxicology results confirmed the cause of death was carbon monoxide poisoning. “It was ruled accidental,” Hodge said. Robinette likely was cold and turned the truck on for periods at a time to warm up, Hodge said.
