See my Tweets on Twitter at @iamcrazydave about the 1-4 hrs its estimated to take to kill yourself via a pipe from the car exhaust, the coroner will have a verdict of death by carbon monoxide poisoning not carbon dioxide poisoning so where the myth has come from that that is what is generated by car exhausts is worth looking into. Apparently 3000 people per year die in London from diseases caused by long term exposure to car exhaust fumes.

An autopsy concluded that Shanda Yenglin’s death was a suicide, Oakland County Medical Examiner Dr. LJ Dragovic told iDetroitOnline.com. “She was setting in place a plan to kill herself and all her children,” Waterford Township police Chief Daniel McCaw said at a news conference. Boys ages 10 and 11 and girls ages 13 and 14 were rushed to hospitals Monday morning and were expected to recover. Sometime Sunday night, Yenglin gave the children milkshakes laced with sleeping pills and pain relief drugs, set the house’s thermostat to 53 degrees and told them to sleep in the van in the garage to stay warm, McCaw said.

Carbon monoxide enters the bloodstream through the lungs and combines with hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is the red pigment in the blood which carries oxygen. Although carbon monoxide follows the same path as oxygen, the poisonous gas combines with hemoglobin 210 times faster than does oxygen. This means that even though there may be ample oxygen in the surrounding atmosphere, carbon monoxide will get into the bloodstream first. High blood level concentrations of the compound will prevent sufficient amounts of oxygen from reaching the heart and brain. This can lead to suffocation, capillary hemorrhaging, permanent damage of nerve tissues and brain cells, and, possibly, death. The primary danger with carbon monoxide is that it cannot be easily detected. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas, and thus gives its victims no advance warning. Carbon monoxide comes from the incomplete burning of gasoline, wood, coal, oil, propane gas, or anything else that contains carbon. Poisoning occurs entirely from inhalation of the toxic compound from the air.
