Probably my favorite actor of all time, he and Clint.
R.I.P.

He lied about his age so he could join the Marines.

that's what I was thinking... faulty heater, or someone left a car running in the garage.

with remote start capabilities on phones and key fobs, that is more common than you might think.

My Volvo would only run for 15 minutes if it was remote started.

Rams have a "safety feature" and I hate it. It won't remote start if you have 1/4 tank of gas or less.
GAY!

It's obvious he was an Enemy of the State.

Doesn't everyone have a CO detector in their house these days? I think my condo has 3 of them.

Mine are too.  I have one in each bedroom and one in a hallway that's close to the door leading out to my garage.

Nope.

This was common back in the days before centralized records.
I believe there was a boy of 14 who fought on Guadalcanal in the early days of WW2

I have a co detector. It saved my wife's  and my lives when it went off at 3am.

Our former next-door neighbor's father and friend died of CO poisoning...ack.

My sisters appartment didn't. And the flue exited the boiler loose, running through a large unsealed hole in her roofspace above her bedroom, and out through an unsealed cavity then through the outer sealed wall.
Madre mia.
