Joseph Mrotek Is The Victim of Monoxide Gas
Joseph Mrotek, 29, of 2711 Calumet avenue, a bus driver, was found dead in the
driver’s seat of an automobile, in the garage at the rear of the home shortly
before 8 o’clock this morning.
According to Coroner Theodore Teitgen, who was summoned, Mrotek was a victim of
carbon monoxide gas. There will be no inquest.
The coroner said that Mrotek had taken a piece of hose from a vacuum cleaner,
attached one end to the exhaust pipe of the car and led the other end through a
rear window of the car. Blankets had been stuffed about the partially opened
right rear window of the automobile.
Last Seen Sunday Night.
Evidently Mrotek had seated himself in the front seat of the car turned on the
ignition switch and started the car motor, the coroner said.
Mrotek had been last seen Sunday evening by members of his family at the home.
When found this morning by his brother, Victor, who was leaving for work, the
dead man had slumped over the wheel of the car and the motor was no longer running.
The gas tank was dry. Coroner Teitgen said that death had probably occurred about
3 o’clock this morning.
On his person, Police Lieut. William Herman and Officer Francis Lallensack found
about $19 and identification cards. Mrotek has been a driver for the Safe Way
Motor Coach company of Manitowoc
