Silos, manure pits, indoor compost, waste treatment plants, sewers, and any place organic stuff is decomposing can do this And it doesn't have to include hydrogen sulfide, although this is a gas that can do it effectively. It is usually a combination of gases, none of which are oxygen.

Very, very sad about the Russian family. We had a similar incident in the
Shenandoah Valley back in 2007, where several members of a family were overcome
by hydrogen sulfide from a manure pit. I have to wonder if H2S might also have
been the deadly gas in this tragedy.
