The Keys in His Pocket

A man parks in the garage attached to his house, drops the keys in his pocket and pulls the door shut. He has dinner with his wife and goes to bed. Both are found dead in their bed by morning. No break-in, and the boiler is ruled out. The car has not moved, and its tank is empty. What happened?
