Mariposa County Sheriff Jeremy Briese will hold the news conference Thursday to discuss the mysterious deaths of John Gerrish, his wife, Ellen Chung, their 1-year-old daughter, Miju, and their dog.

They have already ruled out the causes being related to a gun or any other weapon, extreme heat, a lightning strike, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, cyanide exposure, illegal drugs, alcohol or suicide.

Botulism? Boiled water with algae toxins? Did the newts get them? Did they die of suspense?

That's a good guess. There are some lakes in Africa that are so charged with CO2 that sometimes they boil over and the gas slides silently downhill and suffocates an entire village.

If there were a pond or lake emitting CO2 or some other non-stinking inert gas it could displace the air and they'd have just walked into it and a couple minutes later collapsed, just like an enclosed space death.

Worse that that they had mask on and the un-vaxxed person didn’t! But them it was their own fault in a way they dared to go out on a hike in a national forest and had not gotten their 4th booster yet

The butler, with poison, in the drawing room.

I had my eye on Colonel Mustard the entire time. I never win at these games.

A young guy swallowed a newt on a dare in a Ketchikan bar many years ago - he was dead in an hour.

Death by carbon monoxide is insidious and painless. Death by carbon dioxide is painful and excruciating. Our body is finely tuned to detect and expell carbon dioxide. Respiratory distress is caused by inability to rid the bloodstream of carbon dioxide.

Probably from alcohol poisoning.

It is pretty obvious to all who have followed this case that the family and their dog all died of heatstroke, because they were foolishly taking a strenuous hike in plus 100 degrees heat.

Not if they can find a way to include Trump in the headline.

Taricha newts of western North America are particularly toxic. The rough-skinned newt Taricha granulosa of the Pacific Northwest produces more than enough tetrodotoxin to kill an adult human, and some Native Americans of the Pacific Northwest used the toxin to poison their enemies.

They stumbled upon an overlooked copy of the world’s funniest joke—

Which may turn out to be the Bruce Skit

To find out what rule 6 actually was, see post 16.

(FWIW the Bruce skit, AKA no poofters, has been almost entirely scrubbed from the internet.)

The Clinton’s had stashed a copy of the joke with plans to sell it to the Chinese.

—”Death by carbon monoxide is insidious and painless.”
Don’t overlook plain old nitrogen, about 78% of what we usually breathe, but when the Ox % drops you do not even know it.

I have stayed awake through too many Nitrogen safety lectures.
When the Ox drops from ~20% to about 10% lights out.

Many, many sad events include a bystander that went in to help.

17 inch long Bigfoot tracks were found less than 1/2 mile from the deceased family`s location in July 1964 by a Boy Scout leader and a medic, published in the “Modesto Bee”, July 16, 1964 with photos of the plaster casts.

Don’t mention rule 6.
