Man and child die after family camping accident in Australia

"may have died as a result of a fault with their camping equipment."--------carbon monoxide poisoning?

 

Sounds like it. It's not that hard to use various heaters in an enclosed space, people have been doing it for centuries, but despite all of the info out there folks still screw up.

 

Any updates on this? I can’t find anything.

 

Not that I've found

 

I'm thinking a poisonous snake got into their tent. They think it's camping equipment, because snakes look like gas lines.

 

This is what happens when you entrust you’re life on a buddy heater running in your tent and the janky CO detector/ shut off it has.

 

Thing is, January is their summer. Wedge Island is in the mid 80s as a high and lows in the upper 60s.

 

That’s sad

 

I’ve seen reports saying the cause was a gas leak in a refrigerator that was in the tent with them. Can’t link but google ‘Australian camping accident’ for more info.
