On the evening of December 13, 2010, victim left his car running in his garage. The car has a "smart key" which is a remote key-fob. This means that he does not have to turn a key to turn the ignition on and off. Instead, the car turns on and off by pressing the same button on the dash board. He must have forgotten to turn the car off. He then went to sleep and suffered carbon monoxide poisoning during the night. He was found unconscious on the floor the next morning. The car was still running. The victim was taken to the hospital, where he is in the icu and sedated.
