Methane is not produced by heaters, methane is burned by gas heaters. If the heater flame is blown out it can leak methane, which if it builds up and is then ignited can explode which might demolish the building!
Perhaps you are thinking of carbon monoxide, which can be produced by gas heaters as they burn methane without enough oxygen to burn it completely to carbon dioxide. Inhaled carbon monoxide binds to the hemoglobin in red blood cells much much better than inhaled oxygen and will not detach. This causes a person to run out of oxygen and asphyxiate while still able to breath. In other words it kills silently!
