Wow, that NorCal incident is just so strange.

Makes you wonder if maybe they were using a stove in their tent and got CO2 poisoning?

Yea, I was thinking that though the weird thing is the reports say they just had gone for a day hike. Just strange, I've hiked a lot around that area, was also thinking rattlesnakes but there would be marks and likely not immediate for the adults.
A theory is they possibly could have drank water infected with "toxic algae"...

It doesn't say if they were found inside their tent, but if so, CO is my most likely suspect.
Especially since the dog was dead too.

Edit:
Just saw this.

Maybe not CO as they were found on a hiking trail says the article.

As nyker mentioned above, toxic algae blooms are a possible cause of death.

Here’s another one although cause of death is unfortunately a little more clear

That's a shame and that the victim's brother also was killed in 2015.
Be careful out there...

As for the moose stomping incident, any dog to a cow moose is a wolf and it will attack. Which is why this woman got killed. Ergo, do not take your dog into moose area and allow it to run off leash. Even a leash, according to this incident is not adequate protetion.

this is untrue. source: person with dog who has never been attacked by moose.

Last theory I heard was it was a lightning strike. This doesn't always leave clear evidence on the bodies, like branching burns on the skin.

such a strange mystery. none of the possible explanations yet offered seem to be able to fully explain it. it's like a modern-day Dyatlov Pass incident.
