Or drunk and unable to get inside his own home (or family not letting him in b/c he's drunk?) or afraid to go home b/c he was drunk and outside overnight so got into her car and then popped the trunk thinking he'd have somewhere to sleep where he'd not be seen until he was sobered up and then would go home?
Only then was killed by the heat?
It's been darn hot...we had our car outside and it was so hot it took over 20 minutes before the A/C was even close to starting to make the inside the car temp drop any.
I'm amazed listening to the scanner how many dozens (and dozens - and on weekends even more than a few dozen most of the time!) of calls come in about people finding someone in their cars.
Most are late night or early morning, and a huge percentage of the cases the person is intoxicated or on something. And in many cases, the car was unlocked or the window down some and so the person basically 'waltzed' right in and then were found there. (I won't even go into how many times it happens in homes also! Had no clue how few people seem to lock their homes or their cars! :scared
If he were drunk and couldn't get in his home or was afraid to go home drunk or something or his family/friends/roommates/whomever wouldn't let him in (amazing how many of those calls come in also!) and he was trying to find somewhere to go until morning, and saw her car, I could almost see someone not wanting to have to explain to their neighbor why they were curled up in their car so instead going in the car but where they wouldn't be seen easily, thinking they'd wake up and go home before being detected, only not taking into account lack of air - never mind heat - because of being drunk and not thinking clearly.
