Carbon Monoxide poisoning is a different matter altogether as it's virtually odourless but if it was pure gas then that is an outrageous statement.
Was it pure gas or Carbon Monoxide? if it was the latter then no one is at fault apart from the engineers or manufacturers of the appliances.

Unless it was a really slow leak, maybe...

Yeah, see I thought the same thing, it's weird. Unless they smoked a ****load inside that the leak was totally masked by the smell of cigarettes or something, but I always wondered how on earth that was supposed to make sense too...
