Not if they evacuated the building.
Maids cleaning mixing ammonia and bleach?
Oh come on...this is FR. We’re supposed to fly off the handle first and ask questions later, read the replies above your’s...
*Tongue firmly in cheek*
Is that the opposite of discourage? I looked up scourage in my online dictionary, and it brought me to "dishwashing." Not sure why, unless it considers "scour" to be the root word. Honestly, I thought the dictionary would suggest the proper spelling of scourge, which I confess, I know you meant. But it didn't. And I couldn't resist a little ribbing, as this was one of the more fun typos I've seen lately.
Cleaning crew mixed bleach and ammonia?
di-hydrogen monoxide overdose?
My arthritic fingers don’t always type what I intend. And my fingers are kind of large for the keys on the keyboard, which causes even more typos.
tx_eggman ~ Better not waste it, they're pretty hard to come by.
Nahhh, they're pretty easy to make to order...
I worked at a hotel and it wasn’t uncommon to have suicides. Chemical incident could mean they used KCN or NaCN.
Or it could have been an accident...cleaning staff mixing bleach and ammonia, perhaps.
That terminology covers a lot of ground that might be nothing too far out of the ordinary.

Oh, I’ve read quite a few of your posts, and I don’t think you have many typos. I just thought it was kind of funny how such a simple little addition of one letter could change the meaning of your post to exactly the opposite of what you obviously meant. No offense intended. Just being silly on a carefree Sunday morning.
The two victims were women, police confirmed, adding that officers are investigating the deaths as possible suicides.”
Wouldn’t “need to”...but look at the panic on FR from last year’s cyanide suicide in Denver.
Some people put up a warning sign; others don’t. But to the manager of a hotel, you have a door that says, “warning: cyanide” and you might not know how much and think it was a terrrorist threat instead of a suicide.
Haha. They mean they died from inhaling something that was either toxic or prevented oxygen from reaching their brain.
Probably Carbon Monoxide.
Yes. They are quite Darwinian - cleansing humanity of some of the weaklings.
Carbon Monoxide is a possibility, and if they used a Hibachi to generate it, then evacuation might have been prudent for fire safety reasons, for example.
But it’s mere speculation, though I doubt it is terrorism...despite the typical Crying Wolf we always see here.
I know! I know!
The dead people were from housekeeping, and in a stupid comedy of errors, one was cleaning with Clorox bleach and the other was cleaning with Ajax Cleanser, and sure enough, both chemicals mixed together and released a large amount of chlorine gas, causing the housekeepers to expire.
Simple explanation, couldn’t be anything else, right?
Right?!
toothpaste. ;) Just kidding!!!
Years ago I read an historical account of the availability of addictive drugs in Colonial America. What prevented drugs such as cocaine, marijuana, heroin, etc. from destroying their society? Values, reinforced values, reinforced through the way children were raised. With Johnson’s great society, the welfare money made it easy to buy and use drugs without having to worry about making a living through self-application. When a value is set aside for pleasure, Mahlon and Chilion result (reference to the sons of Elimelech, found in the Book of Ruth; the names mean suffering and pining away, when ‘My God is King’—Elimelech—stoops to marry pleasure—Naomi).
