According to the Federal Security Bureau in Pearce County, the car that the dead woman was on is owned by a man who is a salesman of ice cream. In relation to work, men have installed a cooler box to keep dry ice cool in the back of the car behind the car, and a male's wife borrowed this car to have a mother (a mother's mother and a mother-in-law for his wife) I was planning to deliver it. However, a few hours after the departure of the automobile, a mother and a wife's car were found several blocks away from home, and a man who discovered where two men were losing consciousness found the emergency telephone number Contact 911 which is. The mother died, the wife was reported as a heavy body, and it is likely that the mother's death cause is a suffocation death due to dry ice smoke. Ed Troyer, spokeswoman for Pearce County Sheriff's office, explains, "Somehow dry ice smoke seems to have come out of the cooler box."

Normally, the smoke emitted by dry ice is not dangerous. However, rarely this smoke can cause fatal consequences. Dry ice is a solid form of carbon dioxide and its freezing point is Ce minus 78 degrees. Dry ice changes from solid to solid at once by sublimation, but when dry ice is stored in a place where adequate ventilation has not been done, massive inhalation of dry ice (ie carbon dioxide) that became gas It is possible that there is a possibility. Symptoms such as headache / confusion occur when mass inhalation of carbon dioxide occurs, and in the worst case, it dies.

Dying due to carbon dioxide from dry ice is a very rare case, but it has not happened so far. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there were men who purchased dry ice and chilled food because of a power outage after Hurricane Ivan occurred in 2004. The man seems to have lost consciousness though he purchased dry ice and came home. However, in the case of this man, when I found the place where my wife was falling in the car and opened the door I woke up and I did not get cherished.

In case of the case occurred in 2018, men who are salespeople of ice cream recently just bought a new car. Mr. Troyer of Pearce County Sheriff's office said, "It may be due to the hot outside or the fact that the car was a new car because the new car is highly airtight and not ventilated. Even the bad compatibility has overlapped, "he says.
