Regular atmosphere(Ambient) air contains approximately 20.8% Oxygen.
When a person is very weak they cannot breath well enough to get fresh Oxygen into the lung; therefore, Carbon Dioxide continues to buildup in the lungs and Oxygen falls below the level to sustain life.
I am sorry that your Dad has passed away.

1st thing. sorry about your dad. Do you mean Carbon Monoxide. If so , Unfortunately by that point it is too late. Carbon Monoxide detectors serve that specific purpose. It lets you know there is too much carbon monoxide like from a defective furnace/heater(car left on in a closed garage. If you mean Carbon Dioxide Gas then that is a colorless gas which, when inhaled at high concentrations (a dangerous activity because of the associated asphyxiation risk), produces a sour taste in the mouth and a stinging sensation in the nose and throat. These effects result from the gas dissolving in the mucous membranes and saliva, forming a weak solution of carbonic acid. You may notice this sensation if you attempt to stifle a burp after drinking a carbonated beverage. Only way to cure either thing is not to be around it or protect with a detector so you know when to get out.

How would someone's lungs getted pumped up with 100% carbondioxide gas? Carbonmonoxide is more dangerous, but I've never heard of this.
