HURLOCK, Md. -- Three people were injured, one seriously, after their parked car burst into flames this afternoon. Deputy State Fire Marshals are invistigating how the interior of the car caught fire on Mission Hill Road. The three passengers were able to escape the flames just before a propane tank in the trunk exploded. Two were victims were flown to Shock Trauma, and a third was flown to Bayview Burn Center, with burns estimated to cover 60 percent of her body.

The guy eating the other guy's face off was into vodoo and had family said he had been going around with Bible lately trying to fight off what he felt was demonic possession, problem is invoking vodoo Jesus gets you more demonized not less (according to more orthodox Christianity).
Another incident you listed was the guy with 4 Bibles in his car, think it was a cop. Again, this points to a longer term problem, which they intrepreted probably correctly as demonic spiritual forces.
Now, if these were linked to gas, then it would longer term exposure not the results of 30 minutes. Eventually the gas does enough damage to ability of the human soul to control its own body that these beings that are all around us all the time can take over have a nice empty vessel to use. That's assuming the gas connection is there at all.
Hydrogen sulfide is more dense than air, and therefore, more likely to pool at lower elevations under still conditions, depending upon topography. When a substance is released either from a large area, such as an industrial plant, or from a container, such as a drum or bottle, it enters the environment. Such a release does not always lead to exposure. You can be exposed to a substance only when you come in contact with it. You may be exposed by breathing, eating, or drinking the substance, or by skin contact. If you are exposed to hydrogen sulfide, many factors will determine whether you will be harmed. These factors include the dose (how much), the duration (how long), and how you come in contact with it. You must also consider any other chemicals you are exposed to and your age,sex, diet, family traits, lifestyle, and state of health.
In its acute form, hydrogen sulfide intoxication is mainly the result of action on the nervous system. At concentrations of 15 mg/m and above, hydrogen sulfide causes conjunctival irritation, because sulfide and hydrogen sulfide anions are strong bases. Hydrogen sulfide affects the sensory nerves in the conjunctivae, so that pain is diminished rapidly and the tissue damage is greater. Serious eye damage is caused by a concentration of 70 mg/m. At higher concentrations (above 225 mg/m, or 150 ppm), hydrogen sulfide has a paralysing effect on the olfactory perception, so that the odour can no longer be recognized as a warning signal. At higher concentrations, respiratory irritation is the predominant symptom, and at a concentration of around 400 mg/m there is a risk of pulmonary oedema. At even higher concentrations there is strong stimulation of the central nervous system (CNS), with hyperpnoea leading to apnoea, convulsions, unconsciousness, and death. At concentrations of over 1400 mg/m there is immediate collapse. In fatal human intoxication cases, brain oedema, degeneration and necrosis of the cerebral cortex and the basal ganglia have been observed
It is a chemical asphyxiant like carbon monoxide. Depending on the concentration of the gas, people might exhibit varying symptoms. As Hydrogen sulfide affects the absorption of oxygen, it restricts cellular respiration which can lead to bronchitis and edema in long term exposures. At 0-10ppm : Irritation of throat, eyes and nose leading to watery eyes and nose. At 10-50ppm: causes headaches, dizziness and nausea. At 50-220ppm: Respiratory tract can get irritated, convulsions, can be fatal in severe cases. The rate of dispersion is dependent on the air currents carrying the gas. The gas usually decomposes in air completely by 3 or 4 days. When inhaled, the gas can form stable compounds with the blood. Eventually it can reduce the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood and hence cause respiratory problems. People working in refineries and tanneries are overtly exposed to this gas. And they always run the danger of suffering from respiratory diseases caused due to Hydrogen sulfide. Hydrogen sulfide was found toxic to birds, animals and aquatic life.

What makes you think their cause of death is hydrogen sulphide exposure?
Together with colleagues at Harvard University, the geologists and geophysicists searched for a possible explanation. They found it with the help of geological computer models. "In times of global warming, the glaciers are melting on the continents relatively quickly. At the same time the sea level rises. The weight on the continents decreases, while the weight on the oceanic tectonic plates increases. Thus, the stress changes within in the earth to open more routes for ascending magma" says Dr Jegen.

This quote from the story you linked backs up the approach I have with this thread, that this entire theory may also be playing a role in the cause of earthquakes and volcanoes.

Heavy rain late on Monday could bring more flooding on Christmas Day as the bad weather continues to threaten homes, businesses, roads and railways. Rail bosses urged people not to travel in the south-west of England with the main rail route into Devon and Cornwall blocked until Friday at least by floodwaters from the River Exe between Tiverton and Exeter. Emergency services also warned people not to walk or drive near floodwater.

I think this thread about offset moon halos the other night points to changes in the atmosphere. Not that this probably hasn't ever happened before, but it's got to be very rare if it has. The author of thread says he was in Louisiana, and in the post two others say they saw the same thing that night in California and New Mexico. How could this be seen in such a wide area. This was Dec. 22 when this was posted, a few nights ago. These moon halos supposedly precede bad weather, in this case, probably extreme weather. It's funny that now we have a major winter blast rolling across the country right now, dropped a lot of snow out west and going into the plains over night tonight, then severe tornado threats across the south tomorrow. Not sure if these halos can precede these storms by that many days, but on the other hand, not too sure about any of it these days.

A study some years ago showed very low nominal levels of hydrogen sulphide in the Mississippi River. What has changed specifically for it to produce toxic levels of the gas?
