I suspect it is oxygen depletion - which might be related to geological processes than direct pollution. Pollution will kill fish but in small proportions over time. However, if there is a sudden geological shift which introduces lots of carbon you can observe that large number of fish dying off simultaneously.

It is only a guess. I hope they do a thorough investigation and tell us the cause.

Let's hope someone trustworthy gets a sample of that water to test, not like government is Truthfully disclosing pharmaceuticals and household chemicals in our Drinking Water.

In further investigations, it was discovered that Big Pharma dumped several H1N1 vaccines into Cherry Creek just days before.
