Pet Cat Might Have Caused Tragic Gas Death
London coroner Gavin Thurston ruled that 74 year old Percy Crackles may have been accidentally killed by a pet cat. Crackles and two of his six cats were found dead in a gas filled kitchen. He ruled out suicide and suggested a cat could have stepped on a burner knob turning on the gas while the cat jumped to a bed in a cupboard above the stove.
