Dead in separate parts of the house? Murder? Suicide? Why are there rarely any follow up articles here?

Could have been accidental. My mom and two sisters were overcome, and nearly died when their newly-installed furnace leaked exhaust into the house. Thank God Mom came to and dragged them out of the house.
