For the second time this week in Montreal a body has been found in a parked car covered in snow.
The body was discovered at 3 p.m. Thursday on St. Michel Blvd. near Holt St.
Police said the coroner would perform an autopsy to determine the cause of death.
Earlier in the day the body of an 88-year-old man was found in a parked car in LaSalle.
That man is believed to have suffered a seizure after shovelling snow.
This week hospitals and public health agencies have warned the public of several cases of individuals -- including children -- suffering carbon monoxide poisoning because they were sitting in cars covered in snow with the engine running.
Carbon monoxide is a colourless, odourless gas that can fill a car when its exhaust pipe is blocked.
