Coroner E.G. Duckworth yesterday announced the deaths of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Maas, who were found in their gas-filled home at 512 Christor Place, were due entirely to accidental asphyxiation.

The couple, aged 89 and 87 respectively, were residents of Orlando for many years and Mr. Maas was nearing his 90th birthday. He was the oldest member of the Unitarian Church here.

According to Coroner Duckworth the couple were fully dressed and had evidently lain down on their beds for a short rest. When the home was entered a jet was found turned on in the kitchen stove. A former report that the couple had killed themselves is entirely erroneous.
