Police say that Angel Ginel was found inside his 2003 Lexus around the corner from his home at around 4:38 p.m. yesterday, and was pronounced dead at the scene. His wife told reporters that he disappeared after going out to shovel snow on Sunday. “He gave me a kiss goodbye and said he’ll see me later,” Ramonita Ginel told the Daily News. “Then I kept calling his phone. I kept calling his phone because he didn’t come home last night, I kept calling leaving him messages.”
His car was still running when Ramonita Ginel found him on Monday, and family members say he was trying to charge his phone when a plow came by and trapped him. "“I guess they plowed him back in and he couldn’t get out,” his wife told the Post. “The door was [slightly] open, but I couldn’t open it because of the snow that was there.”
Ginel died of carbon monoxide poisoning while warming up in an idling car outside their home. The woman's husband was shoveling snow away from the car at the time, and the snow may have blocked the vehicle's exhaust pipe, eventually killing them.
