   No.  HCN kills quickly and is easy to ventilate,  which is   
   why the SS chose to use it in the gas chambers:   
      
        
      
      Cyanide (HCN gas) is notorious as a poison but also is ideal as a   
   chemical weapon.  It kills rapidly,  dissipates quickly,  and leaves   
   no toxic residue.
