   Not at all. The CO2 concentration would have done him in long before then -   
   as long as he was already unconscious. Were he conscious and able to freely   
   move, he would have exited the car long before CO had any negative effect.   
   Look up how CO2 affects people and you’ll know where I’m heading with this.
