2. A similar incident happened in Maine last year.

Just speculating as to the cause but it seems most likely.

"It appears the Jeep may have gotten stuck in the bog," Davies said in a news release. "Speculation is that efforts by Reginald Gay to get free from the mire by accelerating caused excessive exhaust to enter the passenger compartment and overcome the occupants. Only the two front windows were open when the Jeep was located. With no direct air flow to remove the fumes, and the V-8 revving excessively, the survivability rating under those circumstances would be grim at best.
