Couple Found Dead In Car In Garage
MILWAUKEE -- A relative discovered a 23-year-old man dead in the front seat of a car Friday still embracing a dead 17-year-old girl.
Their nude bodies were inside a closed garage in the front seat of a 1978 Cutlass. They had apparently been having sex when they were overcome by carbon monoxide, 12 News reported.
The medical examiner said the deaths appear accidental.
The two were not found for nearly a day. The man's mother became worried because she could not reach him on his cell phone Friday morning.
"She called his cousin, who lived nearby, to help her track him down. He's the one who looked inside the garage and found the bodies," WISN 12 News reporter Nick Bohr said.
"Carbon monoxide can accumulate very rapidly. It's just something you don't want to take a chance with," said Dr. Ken Schellhase, of the Medical College of Wisconsin.
Schellhase said warming up a car in a closed garage is one of the most dangerous things you can do, much less staying in the car as it idles.
He said the symptoms can be hard to recognize.
"The symptoms are pretty non-specific. It can include things like headache, dizziness, a general sense of ill ease," Schellhase said.
Sleepiness is also a symptom.
"Those are often the most tragic circumstances where people fall asleep, and there's a carbon monoxide leak of some sort. The dose is overwhelming," Schellhase said.
Schellhase said it is unusual for someone to be overcome so quickly, but it's not clear how long they may have been in the car prior to having sex.
According to the medical examiner's report, the carbon monoxide levels the garage got so intense at some point that the car itself choked off for lack of oxygen.
The car still had one-quarter of a tank of gas.

Two die of carbon monoxide poisoning
A Milwaukee man and a 17-year-old girl died of carbon monoxide poisoning while having sex inside a running car in a closed garage last week, according to a Milwaukee County medical examiner's investigation report.
Family members of the 23-year-old man had gone looking for him Friday after he didn't return repeated calls to his cell phone. He had dropped his girlfriend off at work Thursday night and had borrowed her car, which a relative spotted parked in an alley behind his home in the 5400 block of W. Lincoln Creek Drive around noon Friday, the report states.
The relative entered the man's two-car detached garage, found him and the girl inside and called police.
There was no sign of external trauma, according to the report. An autopsy conducted Saturday determined that both had died from carbon monoxide poisoning.
The man's mother said the dead 17-year-old was not her son's girlfriend, and she did not know her, according to the report.
The girl had been staying with a relative a few blocks away, the medical examiner's report states.
