Carbon monoxide suicide

Description: Carbon monoxide suicide. Car with a tube running from the exhaust pipe to the car window. The person inside the car is in a depressed, suicidal state. Carbon monoxide (CO) binds strongly to haemoglobin, the oxygen carrying component of blood. Prolonged exposure to CO will reduce the amount of oxygen taken up by the brain, causing unconsciousness and eventually death.
