According to a case of sudden unexpected death of both asphyxiation and toxicity of gases at an open job site, a worker died near a landfill area after inhaling gases produced by decomposition. At the site of the accident, oxygen concentration was measured at 1.9 %, methane at 2.0 % and carbon dioxide at 21.7 %. Another case of unexpected death of asphyxiation occuned at an open job site of trash heap with an oxygen concentration at 6 %, carbon dioxide and methane concentrations at 17.2 %, 0.97 %, respectively. In cases of death of both asphyxiation caused by an acute lack of oxygen and carbon dioxide toxicity, it is necessary to perform accurate scene investigations to determine both the cause and manner of death.
