A member asked:
Can you tell me the physical effects of carbon monoxide poisoning before death?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sleep: When carbon monoxide replaces the oxygen in your blood cells, your system slows down and you fall into a sleep like coma with eventual death. The hemoglobin with carbon monoxide is very red in color so death in this way causes a very florid flushing appearance of the victim.
