The microwave is on, defrosting a chicken dinner. From the bedroom, his wife shouts out, “Hi sweetie, could you have a look at the microwave and tell me how much time there’s left?” He immediately runs out and calls 911, informing them that his wife’s in danger. Why??

The best guess I can think of but it doesn’t feel right

The fact that he ran out before calling 911 makes me think the danger is a gas leak, but I’m not sure how the microwave would figure into it.

Tap for spoilerThey don't own a microwave. She was suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning so she was calling the oven, which was leaking gas, a microwave.
