Another possibility is being investigated in a case that one sheriff has called the most mysterious of his career.
Responding agencies treated the scene as a hazmat situation because of uncertainty about the cause of the fatalities, and everything from toxic algae to dangerous mine gasses to murder has been probed. According to a New York Times feature on the family, now lightning strikes have been added into the mix.
A handful of causes of death have been ruled out. Previous autopsy data provided by the Mariposa County Sheriff's Office excluded acute trauma, such as stabbing, gunshot wounds or blunt-force trauma. They also do not believe the family was killed by toxic gas escaping from an abandoned mine shaft.

TV producers can solve these things in an hour, what is going on here?
Duh. FR added that right off the bat.
I think this looks like a movie, so two hours will be needed.
Paging Quincy, M.E.
CSI California.
They will scan everybody’s eyeballs to see stored memories and find their man.
Probably COVID shots.
Honestly, it can’t be too concerning. We’ve never seen anything like this before. The odds are a gazillion to one.
We obviously need to worry a lot more about rattlesnakes, falling off a cliff, bears, sunstroke, cougars and flash floods.
Cow farts. Don’t discount cow farts.
Another murder committed by someone who should not have been in this country?
Aw, c’mon man. Let’s just say it out loud:
After over a year of being confined under edict, the immunologically-isolated family ventured out into the wild and succumbed to unknown biological hazards from which otherwise normal people - aka ‘the free’ and immunologically-exercised - would be unaffected.
There. /s
Sarcasm and dark humor aside, without regard to the actual cause, there is a certain logic to my statement as it applies to everyone else.
I thought it ‘fitting’.
That alone sounds miserable.
Ah man! Loved that show.

I recall that, and was thinking there would be burns???
Right here in DuPage County!
‘’Heard never really made it back, and neither did Nichols,’’ Trevino recalled. ‘’My heart stopped, and the doctor told me if it wasn`t in such good shape, I`d have been gone. Like two ball-peen hammers in my ear, it went from my feet through my shoulder, I`m lifted off the ground, then I`m down, shaking like a leaf. Had four burns on my back and needed two back operations. I felt real warm when it got me, and a lot of pain when I regained consciousness.’’

Mass suicide or murder-suicide?
I would think toxicology reports searching for poisons would be back by now. Wouldn’t they already know if the algae was responsible or not?

When it comes to my kids and grandkids, I’m concerned about everything little thing.
My daughter, son-in-law, and grandkids are out hiking as I type.
#1 son just returned from climbing in Idaho...
Saw this happen to a herd of cows in Alabama one time. Lightning struck the tree they were all huddled under to get out of the thunderstorm.
They were just ‘dead’. No marks, burns, etc.
The big oak tree however was just split in half.
I would think a strike in their near vicinity. It would be evident in a tree, probably. It’s odd. I’m not sure what they may have eliminated that has them still speculating.
I suspect a dry lightning strike too.
Sobering.
