Would Carbon monoxide poisoning be believable?
"Common sources of CO that may lead to poisoning include house fires, furnaces or heaters, wood-burning stoves, motor vehicle exhaust, and propane-fueled equipment such as portable camping stoves...burning charcoal or other fossil fuels within a confined space"

If my guy tends to get ill easily and maybe someone purposely damages the furnace, resulting in incomplete combustion and forcing most of the fumes (including carbon monoxide) into the room rather than up the chimney?

He'd get sick because he spends so much time there but others might just get a light headache. That builds up a credible history that he's ill. Then the murder damages the furnace so it'll release a large dose & kill the guy, planning to air the room out before servants arrive in the morning. - Sound plausible? (Of course, he'll get stopped in the nick of time, etc.)
