Oh no. Due to them being young they probably never knew that no one is to ever use a gasoline powered generator inside of an enclosed space.
So tragic and terribly sad.

Officials are looking into "who is responsible for installing the device". So the gas generator was actually installed in the garden house?

Maybe it had some kind of exhaust pipe through the wall or a window?
It's super hard to believe but at the same time, the last one standing so to speak would likely just think all his/her friends had fallen asleep
That or they were all already fast asleep when the carbon monoxide overtook them Early story* pointed to wood burning stove in operation during party as possible CoD, but newer story says gasoline-powered generator is to blame. Either one can cause CO2 deaths. Regardless, sad, sad, sad.
A safety reminder for all of us:
