This motel management has a bright future working in the government. Ignorance and a lack of common sense are a must in DC.

I think the ignorance is on the part of the hyperventilating writer. Death by pool heater is not a common event. Until this Consumerist writer typed up this asinine column, I had never heard of such a thing.

Death by pool heater is not a common event.

That's not true. Remember the tennis player who was visiting friends in Long Island. Same thing happened. He was sleeping out by the pool.

The probability of two related people in the same room dying of heart attacks is very low. Anybody with half a brain would look for an environmental factor.
