11-Year-Old Boy Dies In Blizzard, Overcome By Carbon Monoxide In Car While Father Shoveled Snow

Heartbreaking!

I'm from dorchester and I send my condolences to the family of this 11 year old , sad to hear stories like this.

that is so sad…

so sad…

Prayers to this family, especially the Dad who tried to shield his child from the cold.

I have never herd of this happening and I don't know where dorchester is but I feel really bad for the parents of this 11-year-old boy is very sad to lose someone very important in your life.

Oh my I feel so bad for his father. That is something that is a total freak accident.

Now I know why my dad always shoveled out the back of the car first.

Two rules for survival in a car in a snowstorm; 1. Crack a window when running the engine, 2. Keep the tail pipe clear at all times.Prayers for the family.RIP young man, way too early for you to leave us.

so sad ifell bad for the father he was trying to keep his son worm

So sad Hopefully this story will help save lives of others if a similar situation occurs.

my condolences to the family of this 11 year old ,:-(

why weren't they in the house? Was there somewhere they needed to be? This article raises more questions than answers. So sad for the kid but even more for the dad.. he has to live with this and will probably blame himself for a very long time.

if he was a white boy I wonder if thea tramp michell obama will attend hes funeral.

if he was a white boy I wonder if that tramp michelle obama will attend his funeral.

wow, your way off the beaten track.. and your ignorant

Sad………prayers to the family.

Prayers for the family…. But who wrote this story? A boy died and you cannot bother to use correct grammer and spelling?

What a cold hearted idiot you are Edward Respalie

it's grammar. lol

God, that is so sad….here the dad tries to protect his son from the cold…just so, so , sad…prayers and sympathy to the family…also please check the vents outside your home, they to can get blocked by snow, and have the same outcome….

So sad for the family, but yes why were they out in such a bad snowstorm why couldn't they have just stayed in the house until the snowplows come, just don't understand it when people go out in bad weather.

I remember years ago, that some young people died when they were warming up in their car at a ski resort–they were backed into a snow bank with the exhaust pipe covered. I pray that the father of this young child will be able to free himself of the guilt he surely feels. This is a tragic accident…

U r very ignorant,I little boy lost his life(black,white,) and u say something stupid like that.I can c u have no heart,from reading this SAD artical..U should only hope something like this will NEVER happen to u…The father ends up in the hospital then finds out aboout his son..Prayers go out to this family

edward you are a sorry excuse for a person may you rott in hell

Rest in peace young one. And find peace, father.

don't live where it snows , do you?, it happens every year, usually to driving age school kids, they sit in their car before school backed up to close to a snow bank, go to sleep and die

right it only takes a few minutes to be overcome by the fumes and then it's to late, to get out

Not far from there and only a few months ago people are being rescued by boat and jet-ski… Now it's by snowmobile and special emergency vehicles.. if at all. Obviously people are "falling through the cracks". I'm so sorry for the family… there are no words for losing a child. All we can offer is our thoughts, prayers, and sympathy. No one knows how big this storm was until everyone is accounted for. Tragedy piles on tragedy as epic storms have pummeled the North Eastern US this year. May the family find closure and normalcy in the future.

NO, it is easily preventable, keep exhaust clear, and a window open,or shovel first, the start the car and get the kids, if he would have started the car with the kid ,while in the garage, would you call it "a freak accident" ????, and freak accident is if the kid was in the back seat and no one else it the car and it goes into gear, that's freaky

she won't and obama won't mention that his son would look like him , either

Otis, I don't know where you are from and I don't doubt your sincerity but I spent 3 years in Vermont… never, before or since, have I had to shovel the house roof and porch. It can be a matter of survival. I now live in an area that's mentality is "let it melt". We are paralyzed by a few inches of snow.. not feet. In new England, you clean the snow out to the road… wait for the city or state vehicles to clear the road and then dig out again because of either additional snow or the plow shoved snow across your drive entrance. If it is not done this way.. there is a very real possibility of heart attack. The boy was old enough to help his dad… a priceless experience for a young man. He was a "big-boy"…. able to share… the experience turned tragic. We can only share their sorrow… not second guess a tragedy. I didn't have a Dad to share with. The entire job would have been mine 50 years ago.

Seriously?!?! Death does not have a race!! A young man lost his life and all you can think about is something ignorant to say. And on top of that you calling Michelle Obama a tramp!! What, you mad?!? Edward Respalie, please keep your ignorantt comments to yourself. Not only will we as a nation will pray for this family but we will pray for IGNORANT people like you

You are such an asshole,why do you have to put a remark like that on the death of a child? I just dont understand? I hope you never expierence the death of a child,,as i have and remarks like this really are not really needed or wanted.Prayers for you

Why are there more questions, to some people its important to get your car cleared in the event that you have to go somewhere in an emergency. In that probably used to that kind of snow and not that concerning for them. I shoveled wtih my kids twice, once after the first snow fall and the second after the second wave. Its just sad that people dont understand CO. It can build up quickly, especially in closed areas or when fumes can't escape ie…a car that doesnt have the tail pipe cleared first or having a generater near a window.

Utterly, utterly tragic. Where were they going? Why could the father not leave his son in the house? There is a lot more to this story that is not being told.

Now I see that there are still ignorant people in the world. First lady Obama attended that other kids funneral because she performed at the inaguration. COLOR has nothing to do with anything. Go live on an island somewhere!!!

Please people, don't go out in a blizzard unless you really have to, and be extra careful running any kind of vehicle or generator for heat. In the 2011 Halloween nor'easter we lost as many people to carbon monoxide poisoning as we did from snow. Mostly from people running generators in their garages, which you should never do unless you have it venting outside, but some from cars as well. I'm not blaming the father here, he did what he thought was best, but the majority of these fatalities are preventable.

Sarahbeth Your father was a very smart man. What a sad situation. Prayers for the family.

Edward R. What the hell are you talking about? Are you out of your mind? This is not about race or politics. If you can read this is about an 11 year old boy who is now dead. And a father who was injured. That is what this article was about. Why are you talking race and politics. Have some compassion for this child and his family. What an idiot you are and how insensitive.

You poor poor man Ed, to have such an impoverished spirit. I hope life brings you some challenges and lessons to help you change.

It"s so sad we have ignorant people in this world are shall i said this country that dislike our first lady because of race. If she was white it would not be racist stupid remarks of the sort. I pray someone come across your path and show you how to be human instead of senseless and cold.

People need to be more educated about this happening….we don't get snow often in Texas, and certainly not deep enough to have to shovel, but even some of us know about how the carbon monoxide can back up in a car and kill someone. Prayers for the family for sure! And maybe when this type of blizzard happens again be sure to get information to people about safety during snowstorms…

Edward pacilie.u are one ignorant fool.is this what u would teach your children to disrespect the firth lady of the us.she is a Harvard grad and lawer .and u probably have never set ft on acolege campus.I bet your family and your nebhiours are ashamed of u.go back to the bar with the rest of your ged buddies.all u have done is show the world ed pacilie is a dumb.ignorant undeveloped humanbeing.
