Tim, once again toxic means harmful or poisonous. Its not the same thing to drown in a lake as to be smothered by a gas cloud. One is an accident that could have been avoided and the other is a harmful event in which there could not be any escape or prevention other than not living by the lake. Toxic means poisonous not harmful. There are lots of harmful things that are not toxic. The CO2 was harmful but not poisonous. The cause and the avoidability of the CO2 incident and drowning but the cause of death is the same. They people who die could not get O2. The question about the death being an avoidable accident or a "harmful event" is irrelevant to the question to toxicity. If you accidently expose yourself to poison and die its still death from poison. If you die because of a "harmful event" like an earthquake causeing a building to collapse on top of you, it still not a death from poison. Tim
