Toxic gas link to deaths

AN elderly couple who operated a garbage transporting barge died after an apparent toxic gas build-up onboard, Songjiang District police said at the weekend. The couple were found unconscious by their son on Friday night and an ambulance crew later pronounced them dead. There were 300 tons of rubbish onboard and a build-up of methane from it is the suspected cause of the deaths, said police.
