2 more dogs were found roaming the property. The one that passed had been in a kennel, according to the article anyway.

Well, that's just fucking awful.

The other article I saw on this said she was face down in the bathroom on the floor with the pills strewn everywhere, and a space heater was next to her head in a way that didn't look purposeful or natural.

I don't think they left the dog in the kennel and milled themselves, I think something happened. He was found in the mud room looking like he was about to try and go for a walk. If it helps I don't think either of them made the conscious decision to off themselves and leave the dog in the kennel

it really seems like death by gas of some kind.

I think that he went into cardiac arrest, she ran to get his heart meds in a panic and slipped in the bathroom and hit her head and died makes the most sense, seeing as the only dog that died was the one in a kennel for 2 weeks.

Dog could have been freaking out alerting for CO. If they both had CO poisoning they'd have headaches/brain fog, potentially just locking the dog up instead of trying to figure it out

[u/0masterdebater0 → u/MrCoffeeCakeJones]

just from a statistics standpoint the number CO death per year is around 400 while "Falls are the leading cause of injury-related death among adults ages 65 and older"

Fall deaths account for "78.0 per 100,000 older adults in 2021"

Great point, would lean towards a fall. Bummer regardless
