The tragic story is, a family of four found dead, advanced decomposition and no signs of foul play.
So many condos are not equipped with Carbon Monoxide detectors. That's my guess.

A few years ago, a family was poisoned in a villa on St. John. An extermination company had sprayed something toxic a few days before they got there.

Autopsy revealed toxic gas poisoning.
I'd like to be a jelly fish, cause jelly fish don't pay rent.

I don't know much about it, but I thought carbon monoxide was associated with heat??

We use hot water here.
It's usually heated with LP water heater.
So either LP or CO would be suspect.

linkSeems to be a little more updated story. Quote( Autopsies revealed they died from gas asphyxiation, but it’s unclear what type of gas killed them, the prosecutor’s office said.)

I just returned from Akumal where I have a condo and there was a lot of discussion about this. One theory is that the cause may have been water heater installed in a closet at that particular resort.
Our condo complex has all the water heaters on the roof.-- As a precaution because of gas stoves, we're all having CO2 detectors installed.

Not to put too fine a point on it but... Carbon MONoxide (CO) is different than Carbon DIoxide (CO2). Careful shopping.
