Second Death of an Egyptian Who Slept in His Car Due to Power Outage

Only two days after an Egyptian girl died of suffocation after inhaling carbon monoxide gas inside a car in the Egyptian governorate of Menoufia, where she had taken refuge to escape the intense heat due to a power outage in her home, a young man in Cairo also died of suffocation inside his car after turning on the air conditioner for more than an hour during the power outage.

The Manshiyat Nasser district of Cairo witnessed a tragic incident yesterday, Saturday, when a young man suffocated inside his car after turning on the air conditioner for more than an hour during the power outage.

The investigation authorities authorized the burial of the young man "Mohamed", 27 years old, after he suffered from suffocation while he was inside the car for a period of up to an hour with the air conditioning on.

A high school girl had died two days ago of suffocation after inhaling carbon monoxide gas inside a car in the governorate of Menoufia, after she had taken refuge in it to escape the intense heat due to a power outage in her home.

Social media users shared the incident that sparked widespread controversy, after the girl tried to escape the power outage to study on one of the high school nights, but she died of suffocation inside the car due to using the air conditioner.
