Yes, there sure are!! Welcome to Phoenix in the summertime where temps inside of cars can reach up at 176' on our nice warm June days!! Check With the AZ Republic (Phoenix Newspaper) at AZCentral.com and query "heat related deaths in Automobiles"...

Usually it's kids of Stupid Parents who leave them in a hot car that die, but we have had several older Seniors and others die inside of vehicles...

There is two potentials in this question. if the automobile is running a person can die of carbon monoxide poisoning, or heat related deaths in automobiles. either way im sure adults have had incidents like this.

I doubt it. An able-bodied adult or even an older child would (if unable to open the window) simply open the door and either leave it open or get out of the car. Only an animal, disabled person, or very small child should stay in the car with the doors and windows closed until they died.

Yep and it happens a lot to animals and kids too :(

If they were dumb enough to lock themselves IN a car, then maybe we're better off without them.

No one is actually that stupid, right?

Uhhh maybe in Canada? Oh sorry that's bad isn't it... Maybe if like a special dad was going to pick up his son from school and was 6 hours early and sufficated in carbon dioxide...?
