[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I read about the mines and minerals in the area. There is gold and abundant sulfides.  According to Wikipedia, "Many metal sulfides are so insoluble in water that they are probably not very toxic. Some metal sulfides, when exposed to a strong mineral acid, including gastric acids, will release toxic hydrogen sulfide." [/quote]

They could have died from hydrogen sulfide. Interestingly, if they had pennies in their pockets, it would have discolored them. It is as toxic as carbon monoxide, deadens the sense of smell, is produced by swamps, and is denser than air.

From Wikipedia "Short-term, high-level exposure can induce immediate collapse, with loss of breathing and a high probability of death. ..... Although respiratory paralysis may be immediate, it can also be delayed up to 72 hours.[50]"

Many incidents of deaths.

I think this could be the cause.[/quote]

The police would’ve have slept there overnight if this was happening. It would’ve risked their lives as well. Because they slept with the bodies, I believe they have a general idea that it’s not environmental enough to spontaneously kill others nearby but are dealing with a potentially undetectable substance. Hence the delays in autopsy also.[/quote]
