Does ANYONE understand why people are being allowed to die trapped in cars ?

80. From what I know is that:

Several bodies have been found in snowbanks near the end of their driveways. One man in Lockport died from carbon monoxide poisoning feeding into his home, most likely from a propane heater.

There were power outages in the Buffalo area, so if residents effected by the power outages had any type of propane heater trying to stay warm, they could now be dead from carbon monoxide poisoning. There was a travel ban enacted, and the last body count that I know of they found 18 deceased people in their vehicles. I'm going to assume that's from carbon monoxide poisoning as well, but I have no evidence of that fact. Some had medical emergencies and no one could get to them. It's devastating to hear that those deceased found in vehicles just couldn't stay at home or someplace safe.

Poloncarz said Tuesday morning that while three new storm-related deaths were confirmed overnight by the Erie County Medical Examiner's Office, the death toll in Erie County rose by only one because the coroner determined the first two people reported dead during the storm in the Buffalo suburb of Cheektowaga were not directly related to the blizzard but due to "medical conditions that were not savable."

Among the storm-related causes of death confirmed by the Erie County Medical Examiner's Office were three people who suffered heart attacks while shoveling or blowing snow, 14 people who were found outside and three who died due to an EMS delay.

"We do expect that there will be more," Poloncarz said.

Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown said 18 bodies were recovered in the city of Buffalo; most were found by police inside vehicles.
