    I guess your right. The amount of H2S produced by even a person with large microbial activity is too small to get into lethal level even within a nearly airtight room. But as the person might have died from other causes, it still quite possible that there would be enough H2S to cause minor non-lethal symptoms that would have required medical treatment for one the people gone to retrieve the body.

    Maybe not strange, but I certainly find Jim Fixx's death ironic; take efforts to live healthily and still die at 52 due to family history. :(

    My cousin was telling me about a guy he knew who died while picking his nose. The story goes, he was picking his nose in his car and somebody bumped his car from behind. His finger went through his nose and killed him instantly. But then again, I cannot confirm how true it was.

    I've just been told about a funny death by my mother-in-law

    Her father died of a heart attack while pallbearing at a funeral :lol: Mind you, it probably wasn't funny at the time
