Giving an opinion in the field of carbon monoxide intoxications is still problematic.
In the paper we present a case of the sudden death of a young female in the garage. In such a situation there were serious suspicions of a violent cause of the death. According to eye-witness relation an experiment to evaluate momentary carbon monoxide concentration in the garage was conducted. The toxicokinetic and biologic effects of carbon monoxide were taken under consideration.
It was revealed that under the given parameters it was impossible there to reach a lethal carbon monoxide concentration.
