Poor Headline

1010 WINS: Silent But Deadly

"Two people died and two others were critically hurt after they breathed carbon monoxide fumes in a Manhattan apartment building, authorities said."

Ok, I know the person who wrote this headline knows there's another use for the phrase "Silent But Deadly." Why didn't he/she just use, "Whoever smelt it, dealt it."?

Update --> Now it reads:

1010 WINS: Carbon Monoxide Kills Two In Manhattan

That's better...

Update: Carbon monoxide safety info from the NYFD.
