Interesting CO method i read about

[dust-in-the-wind]

I was reading studies online about unusual completed suicides. Some were barbaric but one stood out to me. A guy drove his car in the woods, left it running, and he laid down on the ground with his head close to the tailpipe. I have no idea how long it took but he died. There was even a picture of the "crime scene" with his dead body still laying on the ground. Any thoughts?

CO method doesn't work this way anymore because modern cars have catalytic converters that change the CO in engine exhaust. Would have to be a car from pre-1975. For CO poisoning most people use charcoal

Like how creative it can get when people want to leave the world.

Do you know when this happened and what kind of car was used? Will most likely not work anymore...

I can try to find the picture but I don't think the car was that old. Also there was an accidental CO death in my town. A young guy charging his phone in his car during a snowstorm. Snow blocked the tail pipe and he died in the car from CO.
