Please go and verify this- I don't buy it. "Consumed all the oxygen in the
house"? 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.
