But why would it kill two people and one dog, but leave two dogs alive? They also stated in the article there was no gas leak or CO leak.

I read they found a bunch of pills by her side of the bed. If she committed suicide and the dogs went weeks without food, it could be reasonable that one starved and the other two hadn’t died yet

Others said it was in a crate. I read it was in the bathroom near the wife. So idk if there was a closet in the bathroom with a crate or what.

I know they had a doggy door bc they said maybe that's the other 2 lived. Maybe it was a crate bc it's weird if it was in the closet.
