Can carbon monoxide death get mistaken for natural causes death during autopsy?

Vast majority of deaths are not autopsied and cause of death is usually an opinion, often fallible.

I’m curious how this happened to. My understanding is that they were parked outside at some kind of gas station. How did they get overcome by CM?

When doctors fill out the death certificate they have to enter cause of death. Yes it is our opinion, but we won’t pull something out of the air. You have to be damn sure or you will get in trouble, but I’m sure others are less careful. Medical examiner then takes a look and determines whether a post mortem is needed. If there’s a chance that there was something unnatural, accidental or intentional, the ME will order an autopsy. Three young solders dead in a car would emphatically trigger an order by the ME.

Reminded me of this carbon monoxide thread from the other day.

How is this not happening all of the time?

So the carbon monoxide slowly entered their system and eventually rendered them unconscious?
