Woman dies sleeping in car

When their house in An Lao District lost power on Thursday night, Pham Minh Hang, 20, along with her father, 49, and younger sister, 15, went to sleep in their car which was parked in the family’s garage, as it had air conditioning and the house was too hot.

At around 3:15 a.m., Hang’s mother, who stayed inside the house, went to check on her two children and husband and found all of them unconscious. They were all admitted to the local hospital, but Hang was confirmed dead.

The man and girl woke up later after receiving emergency aid.

The car was an over-30-year-old Toyota Camry.

Police are investigating the cause of death, but suspect that the cause of death was lack of oxygen.

Hai Phong and other northern localities are experiencing a heat wave with temperatures reaching 40 degrees Celsius at certain points of day.
