A very sad story with a tragic outcome for two people.
I think pasusan nailed it with this post and comment:
There are a lot of people that are not aware of the CO dangers and closed spaces. This is purely a guess on my part but I would guess that this father was not an RVer but someone trying to provide a living space for himself and his children. He was perhaps too busy trying to earn enough to put food on the table and clothes on his kids backs and keep them warm. He did not understand RVs, only hunger and cold. He tried, as best as he knew, to keep his kids warm and fed and provide a place to sleep. I believe he did the best he could with what he had and his apparently limited knowledge.
Yes, a truly sad story.
Please be thankfull for what you have and try to help those that need help.
