A not-uncommon bummer in extended power outage situations. Internal combustion engine / generator fumes most likely. Even outdoors, can be drawn in through open windows and similar.

Probably not caused by a propane cook stove.

I just saw that on the tv. Apparently they had fired up a generator indoors.

The public knows all about the dangers of smoking cigarettes, but only a minority seem to appreciate the dangers of carbon monoxide. Tragic.
