Three people were found dead in a locked vehicle here Tuesday, apparently after they gassed themselves to death in a suicide pact, police said.
When officers arrived they found the bodies of a man and two women inside. The rear of the vehicle contained three portable gas stoves with briquettes inside them. The windows of the vehicle had been taped shut from the inside.
Police said the man's body was in the passenger seat. The body of one of the female victims was in the driver's seat while the other one was in the rear of the vehicle. All three appeared to be in their 20s. No suicide notes were found
Burning briquettes inside an enclosed space releases toxic carbon monoxide gas. Several others have been found dead in similar circumstances this year. Police suspect many of the victims met through the Internet on suicide-related sites.
