A terrible diet and a room with no ventilation are being blamed for the death of a man who was k**led by his own gas. There was no mark on his body but an autopsy showed large amounts of methane gas in his
system. His diet had consisted primarily of beans and cabbage (and
a couple of other things).
It was just the right combination of
foods. It appeared that the man died
in his sleep from breathing the
poisonous cloud that was h*****g over his bed. Had he been outside
or had his windows been opened, it wouldn't have been fatal. But the
man was shut up in his airtight
bedroom.
According to the article, "He was a
big man with a huge capacity for
creating 'this deadly gas'. Three
of the rescuers got sick and one
was hospitalized.
In my younger days (30s/40s/50s)
I had a reputation for expelling such noxious gases - made some folk
gag and retch and one guy actually puked, but I'm not aware of ever
having k**led anyone !
Used to work with a guy like that Big A. His parents even took him to the Dr when he was younger thinking there was something wrong. He could definitely clear out a room. We were installing new furnaces and a lot of times were in tight places

I used to work a lot outdoors and have chased coworkers away from the work area and found that was the quickest way to get the boss to make an exit so I could get back to work(he talked alot)
And how many of us has let one rip because we were in the privacy of our own space and sure enough someone else comes in the room?

Crop dusting down the grocery store aisle
My wife tells me constantly that I blast 💥 gas all night while asleep 😴
There use to be a show awhile back that stated all deaths were real and true the show was called a thousand ways to die
Anyway there was one episode where a person had k**led themself by passing gas all night in a closed room and suffocated
What a way to go
Ass blast yourself into the neither world 🌎
Reminds me of the old joke about the Avon lady.
The Avon lady is in an elevator one day and had to release some pressure. Since she was alone, she just let it rip. Well it smells terrible so she digs in her wares and sprays some pine scented air freshener around the elevator. Sure enough a couple floors later the elevator stops and a very drunk man gets in. As they resumed their descent he starts sniffing, the Avon lady asked him if he liked the smell. The drunk says ' smells like someone pooped on a Christmas tree '.
Don't know if it's genetic or a diet
problem, but it seems the men in my family share a strong penchant for producing noxious fumes - dad and my brothers weren't usually as ripe,
but they had their days, too !
My youngest brother (who's sense
of humor sometimes mirrored mine)
would on occasion rip a good one either going to bed or getting up -
he would then pull the covers firmly over his (and his girlfriend's) heads and pull what he called a 'Dutch
Oven' by holding them there and 'sharing' it with her ! Good thing the girl had a sense of humor or I might have lost him sooner than I did !

Would their deaths be considered suicide by the insurance companies?
Spontaneous human combustion?

Are you referring to my brother's 'Dutch Oven' stunt ? He had his days, but nowhere near as bad as someone else we know ! He wasn't lethal !
