Five Family Members in Utah Mysteriously Die -Hannah Clifford 5th Period

http://www.cnn.com/2014/09/29/us/utah-family-deaths/index.html?c=us&page=1

In Utah, five family members died while all in the same room of their house. Investigators found no sign of struggle or violence. One of the sons found the bodies in a bedroom on Saturday night. Because there is no evidence to suggest anything about their deaths, the next step is to take blood samples. The firefighters who entered the house were wearing equipment made to detect carbon monoxide, but there was no sign of a buildup. The doors were open, so there is a possibility the gas could've escaped by then. The only way to find out is wait for further results. 

When I began to read this article, I thought of course it was carbon monoxide. But then they went on to say that there was no trace of the gas. However, I can't see any other way they could've died. My theory is that maybe there was a gas buildup, they died, and somehow the doors were opened and the gas escaped.

  1. That's so strange. Perhaps there is another type of gas that is poisonous but undetectable? Maybe it is poison. I'd like to follow up on the story and see the outcome.

  2. This is quite odd. I hope to find out what the cause could have been. Maybe it can be stopped or maybe it's a gas that can be detected with later investigation.
