Police say no foul play. So what happened? Carbon monoxide or some kind of gas leak?

It would be crazy if someone with his money didn’t have a CO detector in his home.

His net worth is rumored at 80 million , you would think the house would have adequate smoke and CO detectors . But maybe not . Unless the wife was terminally ill I don't see agreed upon suicide as the cause of death . I think CO . The truth will come out after the autopsy .

My first thought when I saw this on Fox's web site this AM was CO poisoning.
Anyone seen his movie "The Conversation"? Great little movie with a twist.
