Default cut gas pipe

Too early to assume that it wasn't a suicide or homicide?

I haven't seen any information on which gas pipe was cut, and if it was on
the supply side or near a domestic appliance such as a stove or boiler or
heater.

You would expect a distinct smell of gas immediately if a pipe connected
directly to the mains had been cut.

On the other hand if it was, for example, between a gas tap and an
appliance such as a gas fire any unusual gas smell might be missed because
it was expected.

Equally, was it a very minor nick in a pipe which allowed gas to
accumulate over time or a major cut providing a swift and noticeable flow
of gas?

So many questions, so little information....

Cheers
