Man (24) suffocated
Tragic death: How safe are parking heaters?
The death of a 24-year-old man from Carinthia, who wanted to leave his car at the weekend after a Krampus run and spend the night in it - and then suffocated from the exhaust fumes of the parking heater- is tragic. How sensible - and dangerous - are such installations? The "Krone" asked.
The shock runs deep: even three days after the tragic death of Christian (24) - a sociable young farmer from St. Salvator (St. Veit district, Carinthia) - numerous candles are still burning at the scene of the accident and someone has brought flowers.

There has also been a lot of discussion about the terrible case on social media over the past few days: "It's actually very exemplary that the young man wanted to leave his car after having a drink," writes one user on Facebook: "Not everyone does that!"
However, the parking heater he had installed himself on the day of his death, which was supposed to keep him warm, proved to be Christian's undoing: he breathed in the exhaust fumes and suffocated. How could that be?
