A man and a woman are said to have died of carbon
monoxide poisoning after having sex in a car while the engine was
running.
Keith Payton and Salina Johnson, both 40 years of age, were found dead in the car which was parked in a garage.
The
duo, who were residents of Pennsylvania in the U.S, are believed to
have been overcome by the
odorless fumes due to the high levels of the
gas detected.
Daily Mail reports:
The ignition was still on but the car had run out of fuel. Extremely high levels of carbon monoxide were detected.
Police believe the couple had pulled over for sex because Ms Johnson was partially clothed when they were found, The Patriot News reported.
Marijuana
and drug paraphernalia were found in the car, according to Old Lycoming
Township police.A kerosene heater also was on but it had also run out
of fuel.
The couple, of Allenwood and Williamsport, were
pronounced dead at 10.45 p.m. Friday, but police said they had died
sometime earlier. But it is thought the pair may have driven into the
garage the previous evening.
Coroner Charles Kiessling was called
to the scene inside a garage on Blooming Grove Road. He says blood
tests show ‘extremely elevated’ levels of carbon monoxide in the
victims’ bodies, according to PA Homepage.
The
two were discovered by an family friend sent by Payton’s brother, who
leased the garage, to look for Payton, police said. It is understood Mr
Payton had gone to the garage to drop off something for his brother on
Thursday.
