Did he live in a perfectly sealed home? He must have, as a gas stove running all night WILL NOT "use all the oxygen". We used to live in a housing project where the heat was never warm enough, and my mother used to run the gas stove all night to keep the place warm. I mean, it takes like 5 hours to cook a turkey. I bet the guy lost the flame and died from the natural gas. -Kenny -- Kenny Crudup, Contractor, OSF DCE QA OSF, 11 Cambridge Center, Cambridge, MA 02142 +1 617 621 7306 kenny@osf.osf.org OSF has nothing to do with this post.
