Death by Poop Gas

I cannot IMAGINE something like this happening. These poor people. It's an awfully tragic story, happened just down the road from where I went to college. Death by methane. AKA the cows pooped too much, it rained, and gas concentrated in a single area. Being a silent killer, the methane awaited as the farmer and his ENTIRE family came down to check something out, eventually killing all 5 of them. I mean, I know there are dangers of working on a farm, but this is just particularly sad. I hope there were no surviving family members, I really hate when I hear a story of a tragic death and it's just the dad and daughter who have died or just the mother and one of the babies kind of deal- I always feel SO bad for the ones living. That really sucks. At least in this case everyone died so no one has to be left back to mourn.
