A woman who died after being overcome by fumes as she slept in her car between her four jobs had been desperately saving money to support a former boyfriend she met online and his three children. The body of 32-year-old Maria Fernandes was found in her car in Elizabeth, New Jersey in August, after she became overcome by a deadly mixture of carbon monoxide and fumes from an overturned gasoline container. She worked four jobs, including two shifts at separate Dunkin Donuts and she apparently left her car running while she tried to rest while going between her jobs.
