I know that down in San Antonio, the "S.A. Express-Snooze" ran a story about how drivers were turning up dead at truck stops. No signs of foul play, but they did coincide with the cold weather we've had.
BTW, that's cold weather by South Texas standards. I'm a native Texan, yet even I have to snicker when I hear people complain about "Winter" weather here!!

I put a smoke detector with a CO2 detector in my truck. Heard 2 many times of drivers just walking away from their truck and it goes up in flames or drivers dieing from CO2. Hopefully, I'll have some warning atleast, if im sleeping!
