I'd like to pose a hypothetical scenario, at least hypothetical in the present sense.
Suppose I were to fabricate a timed ignition device to light a few buckets of a predetermined amount of charcoal that would result in a lethal concentration of CO within a small space. I would repeatedly test the ignition device(s) in order to make sure that the charcoals would be set afire sufficiently, so that they would continue to burn to a point of becoming red/white hot. With this device, the timing of when ignition begins would be controllable and set by me.
Now, suppose that I took some substance(s), as yet undetermined, in order to achieve unconsciousness. Whatever this substance is would only result in unconsciousness, not death. Basically, it would just put me to "sleep" after some period of time. Again, I would test this substance and amount taken to determine the amount of time it would take to reach unconsciousness and for how long I remained unconscious.
Depending on how long it was determined it took for me to reach unconsciousness with the substance, that amount of time would determine the amount of delay that the timed ignition device for the charcoals would have. For example, if the substance I took to become unconscious took 30 minutes, I might set the timed ignition device for the charcoals at, say, a 45 minute delay from the time I took the substance.
It would not matter if I had to breathe in all of the impurities of the charcoal before they reached the red/white hot stage, because at that stage, I would be unconscious.
I think I already know the answer to the question I have, but want to ask it anyway and get additional input.
My question is if everything would go according to plan, and I took something to make me unconsciousness, and shortly thereafter the charcoals in the buckets were automatically ignited, resulting in a lethal level of CO in a small enclosed space, if I, now being unconscious, would still be able to breathe in enough of the CO to reach lethality?
Is being unconscious by substance the same as being naturally asleep? I know people have died in their sleep by CO, resulting from malfunctioning furnaces, fireplaces, etc. I just want to be sure there is no difference between the two states (of unconsciousness). It may seem obvious what the answer is, but I just need to know and hear it from others who know more than I about this.
If anything in this post isn't clear, just ask and I'll try and clarify. The goal of a setup like this would be to eliminate SI as much as possible. Simply put, a person enters a tent, takes a few pills of something to knock them out, lays down, waits until unconsciousness happens and falls "asleep", charcoals automatically ignite a short time afterward, and the person never wakes up.
