Respiratory Failure

Zman

2 people both die of respiratory failure on the exact same night? This reminds me of the sisters in the Seychelles a few years ago.
How many more will die before they check for CO and fix that water heater?

Does CO poisoning cause fluid in the lungs?

It happen't just like this in Boone NC.

First a couple dies for no reason. I took the boy dying for anyone to get a clue...

That reminds me, I need to pack my CO detector for my upcoming trip.

Turns out there was a prior identical death to this case
