Accidental CO death with car. How was this possible???

This is too easy. Is this the holy grail?? Just block the tailpipe?? Everyone always says cars made after 1975 don't give off enough emissions to kill you. I remember a similar story in the early 2000's.

How awful. Tailpipe was blocked by snow

Yes we got 3 feet of snow where I live. I feel bad for him. Wish it was me.

Yeah, what the heck. People act like it's impossible to do this with modern cars. Maybe there's a huge failure rate and it's hard to succeed though. Who knows.

I was thinking of lying besides the exhaust pipes to get the most concentration possible, but now I'm just going to burn charcoal in an Airbnb.

I see no way that the heat of the exhaust would not melt any snow that made its way into an exhaust pipe. Have you ever touched an exhaust pipe, a tail pipe, even on the outlet side of a catalytic converter? I have. It will burn the F out of your hand. Had to be one hell of a weird phenomena, with a snow pack around the exhaust pipe acting as a heat sink, and something more than snow, like a piece of ice, blocking off the pipe. Even then, when exhausts get blocked off, cars engines die. Nowhere does it say what kind of vehicle it was, older or newer. He might have had an old ass truck. Relying on this to work as a method, for all "perfectly" right events to come together to result in this scenario, is foolhardy, imo.
