It could be "silo gas" knocks them unconscious when they get down there (nitrous oxide?).  It's a by-product of fermentation and kills farmers in this country quite often.  It's odorless, tho that would have made no difference in this case.  It also could be that all free oxygen has been incorporated into some other compound such as carbon dioxide (same result).  Sure hope those guys have gone to a better place. :(

as somebody who works in confined spaces often. the most likely cause is lack of oxygen.  the degrading of crap in the hole uses up all the oxygen. you go in, you get stupid from lack of O2, before you realise you are in trouble you are to 'out of it' to save yourself.  

this kills a lot of people every year.

thats one reason you often see the 'lazy' guy standing around 'doing nothing' on a construction crew.  anytime you have someone working in a hole or other confined space you need someone to monitor them.

Reminds me of the movie "Mom and Dad Save the Universe" in the scene where the soldiers find a Vanishing Grenade which says "Pick Me Up" and vaporizes the holder on contact.  Each soldier one after another picks it up until the whole unit is gone.  Those guys sure kicked the crapper on this one...
