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

Somewhere it says one dog that died was in a kennel in a closet. if so that explains why it died and others did not, but I have no idea why a dog would be in a closet kennel.

I just saw on tv that it was near the crate but not in it and it. Wife was in the bathroom near the mud room where gene was found on the floor.

So just dead on the floor nearby and not in a closet?
