Glencoe, KY – A man and woman died while having sex in a parked car last week, according to Gallatin County Sheriff Josh Neale.
Violet Eles, 28, and David Long, 32, were overcome by carbon monoxide leaking into the car through a rusty exhaust pipe, Neale said. Their bodies were found near a Glencoe, Kentucky home Wednesday, May 13.
The two were in the car for about 90 minutes. Neale said Eles and Long kept the car on to run the heat because it was 40 degrees that night, according to Neale.
A rusty exhaust pipe caused carbon monoxide to leak into this car.
Police are still waiting on the results of toxicology reports to see if alcohol or drugs were in their system.
Long was a lifelong resident of Gallatin County.
Long’s brother, Kevin, discovered the bodies at about 6:40 a.m. near his mobile home on Ethridge Road. He said he spotted them while walking his children to their school bus.
“I pulled him out and I tried to do CPR on him and the paramedics tried to talk me through it over the phone,” Kevin Long said.
Neale said anyone sleeping in a car should turn off the engine or roll down the windows. Kevin Long said he hoped the story of what happened would stop anyone else from making the same mistake.
