Driver found dead inside car
May 7th, 2011 - 2:06 am ICT by IANSNew Delhi, May 6 (IANS) A cab driver was found dead inside his car here Friday. The police said he may have died of asphyxiation.
“Bunty was lying unconscious inside the car early morning at New Ashok Nagar (in east Delhi). He was rushed to Lal Bahadur Shastri Hospital, where doctors declared him brought dead,” said a senior police officer.
Bunty was working with Miamber Choudhary, who owns the car, for the last two months, the official said.

“Bunty usually sleeps inside the car. He was found dead Friday morning. The air-conditioner was found switched on while the fuel was empty. It is believed that he died inhaling the poisonous gases like carbon monoxide, methane and others released by the air conditioner,” the official said.
