Shallow Water Drowning... not aware of such an easy proxy for O2 biological detection. So the CO2 detection system is there, and considering the limited chances of dying of hypoxia with low level of O2, there was no strong pressure that would have helped a hugely complex system to evolve. If it is even at all possible.
