In 2013, a Russian family was tragically wiped out by toxic fumes from rotting potatoes in their cellar. One by one, they entered-and never came out. Only 8-year-old Maria survived by staying outside

They had a very large amount of very rotten potatoes, in a contained place, below ground. Yeasts and such consume the potatoes -- and the oxygen -- and pump out tons of CO2 (which is heaver than air), leading to an anoxic atmosphere in the basement.
