where did it come from? Volcanic activity or stoves?

Stoves or a boiler most likely- it's tragic that a young guy lost his life like that. Incidentally, what's a "show cave"?

The place seems to have a "yakiniku" restaurant in it. Maybe the ducting failed.

"Show cave" probably means something like "tourable caverns." First I have heard of them. But then I have never stopped in Yamaguchi.

Carbon Monoxide detectors need to be mandatory in all buildings.

Simple inspection, boiler in the basement emitted CO that leaked through wall cracks of this old building (hotel) and concentrated on 3rd floor (only)...convincing? no, but this is what NHK police is saying now.

Maybe the first and second floors were better sealed than the third floor. Sad to see. The kids who were affected may not make a full recovery, either. CO poisoning can cause serious heart and nervous system damage depending on the amount of exposure.
