Two women die in car from carbon monoxide poisoning: doctor

Two women were found dead on Wednesday night inside a car, which was parked with its engine turned on at the roadside in Songkhla’s Hat Yai district, police said.

Pol Major Hakeem Mad-adam, an inspector at Hat Yai Police Station, said the two women had apparently died of exposure to carbon monoxide because they were inside the parked car for hours with the engine running.
Local residents discovered the two dead women at about 8.30pm after they noticed that the car had been parked on the roadside of Rat-uthit Road in downtown Hat Yai since 3pm.
The body of Thanyapat Kehasitthirote, 53, a Hat Yai resident and owner of the car, was found in the driver’s seat. Another woman, who appeared to be in her 60s, was not identified as she was not carrying an ID card.
The bodies were sent for autopsies at Hat Yai Hospital.
A Hat Yai Hospital doctor did not find any trace of injuries on the two women and said he believed the two had died of carbon monoxide poisoning as they might have been waiting for someone in the parked car with the engine and air-conditioner turned on for several hours.
