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.

Not only did she lose her boyfriend, she lost him while he was in her car cheating on her.

I can just imagine her side of the telephone call.

"Hello"
"No, I haven'te heard. What news?"
"He did WHAT? With WHO?!?! I'M GOING TO F@^%#&@ KILL HIM!!"
"Oh"
"Ohhhh, heheh."
"No, I'm fine. In fact, I think I'm going to go buy a new car to celebrate."

I have a pilot friend who joined the Mile-Hi Club and says it was one of the greatest experiences of his life. He tells me the recipe for success is as follows:

If you and the girl both have strong stomachs, it is reportedly blissful. Still not a smart move for the pilot in command, but certainly sounds safer than what the other dingalings were doing.

A cargo pilot I knew was on a night flight to Portland and took his girlfriend along. He put it on autopilot and they were getting it on and when ATC finally got his attention he was almost 100 miles to sea!

A great number of carbon monoxide deaths each year are from charcoal. Seems people will attempt to use a small BBQ grill for warmth in a travel trailer. Nothing eats oxygen like charcoal.
