People just dont die in well sealed houses.


Well, many of these homes have propane cooking stoves
(handy for power outages) and AC powered CO detectors.


The obvious fix for that is to either have battery powered CO
detectors or an UPS for those if power outages are common.

Only the fire detectors are required to have battery backup
with low battery alarms. Houses sealed very tightly.


I doubt they are actually sealed tightly enough to kill anyone.


So there are no health issues unless someone dies?


Sure there can be health issues without death. CO causes headaches,
nausea and sleepiness. It'll affect some people faster than others.

In order for someone to die there would have to be a combination of
circumstances and very poor decisions. This is a good reason to
have battery backup on your CO detector and not use stoves as a
source of heat.
