Despite the many warnings with regards to this, people tend to ignore it.

As quoted in the linked article:

'there are a number of appliances common to both boats and caravans, as well as houses, that have the ability to produce toxic fumes.

It is our advice that all such equipment is professionally installed by a qualified technician and serviced regularly in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. We also recommend that both smoke and carbon monoxide alarms are fitted and tested weekly.'

Yet another 2 suspected CO2 deaths.
This time 2 men were found dead on a fishing boat in Whitby harbour yesterday morning. The police say there is no suspicious curcumstances but CO2 is suspected as other people said there was a strong smell of gas, This could be partially burnt gas which thay could smell which will result in CO2 being produced.

Turns out that they were so cold they lit the gas cooker, which caused the problems.
