I’m thinking a defective heating system. They would have smelled a gas leak, however carbon monoxide is odorless and if enough is present, definitely kills. If they had been dead for awhile (poor dog trapped in a kennel!) the tell tale CO skin signs might have faded or vanished (cherry red coloration).
The article mentioned a space heater also. Wonder if it was electric, or some other like kerosene or something else. I remember those kerosene heaters. We had one of them at one time. I hated it and refused to use it. We hauled it to the dump to put in recycle at the time.
U can see the house at 1424 Old sunset trail, santa fe NM. It is a huge compound. They would not died from carbon monoxide poisoning; they had money to have central heating or wood pellet heaters. 90% of CO poisoning are from poor folks burning a BBq stove or charcoal stove inside an enclosed space to keep warm.
There were pills near Betsy’s body, Gene was already 95 and frail. Maybe Betsy overmedicated on pills and OD’d. Gene tried to check on her and fell, unable to get up. Both expired and succumbed.
