Texas man locks himself in his Corvette and dies from heat (2015, targa)

His dog died as well.

The article has very little information and I don't know why he didn't just start up the car and turn on the AC. People have come to rely on the electronics to always work but it's probably a good idea to know how to manually unlock your doors just in case.

I feel sorry for the dog.

Battery was dead? Sad that he didn't know about the manual door release on the floor, or just remove the targa top.

Bust out a window?

I would have kicked the window out before I just sat there and died.

They were found 4 hours later? You mean he didn't bang on the windows to get someone's attention in a Waffle House parking lot? Strange and sad.

Maybe he was drunk and passed out, he was at a Waffle House after all

@72 years old, I doubt he had the stregenth for that. Jus one more reason to keep a center punch or safety hammer in the glove box

Turning in your sit and kicking ain't all that hard, if he could get in and out of a vette he could pull that off

No, but getting enough force to break the window may be a problem for a person of that age. Tempered glass is not easy to break
