The gas probably wouldn't have killed anybody... unless someone lit up a cigarette. Gas leaks that cause CO are from the gas only partially burning, not leaking unlit.

I can't believe I had to scroll this far to find the right answer. Almost impossible to die of natural gas or propane. You will begin vomiting well before asphyxiation. CO on the otherhand, shit will kill you pretty quick.

Gas leaks, that contain CO are from water gas and coal gas, not natural gas, so unless the person lives in a place, that still produces those, they're absolutely fine until someone makes a spark in the gas filled room.
