A tragic situation in Ingersoll has triggered a warning from the OPP and the Office of the Chief Coroner.
A 20-year-old Bayham woman was found deceased in a parking lot of a business recently with the death not being treated as suspicious and no foul play suspected.
This has caused police to talk about the dangers of sitting in a running vehicle, even if it is outside, as carbon monoxide leaks from an idling vehicle can be deadly.
We spoke with Acting Sergeant Ed Sanchuk.
Police say drivers should make periodic checks to ensure your tailpipe is free of snow and that vehicles that are more than 5 years old should have a mechanic check the exhaust system annually.
