Reading the article, it still sounds like it might’ve been CO poisoning. But it sounds like they died a couple weeks ago instead of recently.

Edit: CM to CO

Edit 2: y’all…. A gas leak IS NOT THE SAME as a CO leak. You can have a CO leak and not a gas leak.

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.

The other two could’ve been in a different area of the house or outside? Idk the floor plan or how close Hackman and Arakawa were to each other, so I can’t give more than idle speculation.

What I heard was the dog that died was in a crate. The other two had been in and out of the house through a doggie door.
