"Isn’t there a chemical added to odorless gases to l make a sulferish smell??" Yes, natural gas that is pumped into your home has an added rotten egg smell you can't miss. Carbon Monoxide (CO) doesn't have any odor of it's own, so it is a much more sneaky killer.
My first guess on this is either CO poisoning (it's been fairly cold at night in New Mexico the last few days--faulty heating appliance?), or, secondarily, a murder/suicide.

The chemical, called a mercaptan, is added to fuel gas such as methane or LPG to make it strong odered. Carbon monoxide (CO) is oderless even from burning fuels that have been treated.

To natural gas, yes, but carbon monoxide is the bi-product of a faulty heater and aside from a detector, there's no way to know its' presence.
