The fact that they passed out , suggests that the room was sealed to an extent that there wasnt enough air to breath

No it doesn't, it suggests that they inhaled too much smoke/fumes.  A room is either sealed or it isn't!

Even to sit in an airtight room, even with having  a barbeque, is quite a stupid thing to do

I can't help thinking that carbon monoxide could have been part of the problem here. The  fire-bed of a BBQ is not going to have a sufficient supply of air to enable complete combustion of charcoal so instead of carbon dioxide, highly poisonous carbon monoxide would be produced in significant quantities. The effect of monoxide is cumulative as it gradually converts the oxygen transporting haemoglobin in the blood to Carboxyhaemoglobin which is a persistent and stable compound that cannot transport oxygen around the body. That is what makes carbon monoxide poisonous.
