The gas company did find a “miniscule” leak at one of the stove burners, which registered at 0.33% gas in the air, though that is not significant enough to be fatal.

They also found four more red tag code violations with a water heater and three gas log lighters in fireplaces, though none involved a leak or carbon monoxide. Gene and his wife were found dead in their home last week, along with one of their dogs.
