Six people, including a 17-year-old boy, died at a Colorado dairy farm due to suspected hydrogen sulfide (H2S) poisoning. H2S, a toxic gas produced by manure decomposition, is a known hazard on dairy farms. A safety expert stated this is the largest single incident of H2S deaths he's seen. The victims, many related, were likely working in a confined space near manure processing equipment. The incident highlights the dangers of working with manure and the potential for rapid H2S poisoning.
