ST. CHARLES, ILLINOIS –
Two teens found naked and dead in a car March 16 were poisoned by carbon monoxide, according to a news release from the Kane County Coroner’s Office.
Adalina E. Donoso, 18, of Racine, Wisconsin, and Kody R. Dietrich, 18, of St. Charles were found naked (obviously fucking) in the back seat of a car parked in a parking lot in the first block of North 17th Street shortly after 8 a.m. Toxicology tests performed on their bodies found that carbon monoxide caused their deaths, the coroner’s office said in a news release.
“The toxicology results showed elevated carboxyhemoglobin levels. No other substances were found in the results,” the news release said. “The cause of death for these two individuals has been determined to be carbon monoxide intoxication.”
Police said that an investigation of the 2001 Toyota Camry vehicle found that the manifold was not connected to the exhaust tailpipe because of recent do-it-yourself work performed on the car, which caused the exhaust to empty into the engine compartment instead of out the tailpipe, according to the release.

With the assistance of the St. Charles Fire Department, police said their investigators conducted a test with the vehicle, and after 35 minutes with the engine running, carbon monoxide levels of 1,180 parts per million were recorded, according to the report, which noted that any concentration above 30 ppm is considered hazardous.
The findings of the investigators are consistent with the coroner’s report, according to the release.
“This was a tragic accident, and it was not intentional,” Deputy Police Chief Dave Kintz said in an email Tuesday.
An autopsy performed March 17 found no signs of trauma or foul play.

Students at an Illinois high school are in mourning after three of their peers died in two horrific incidents less than a week apart.
According to police, 16-year-old twins Brittany and Tiffany Coffland were killed at the hands of their own father last Friday evening.
After shooting his two daughters, investigators say the girls' father shot his wife in the legs before taking his own life. The girls' mother was the only survivor.
"She was just a joy to work with. Everybody loved her there," one of Brittany's friends told WGN-TV outside of a visitation service for the twins.
Days later, 18-year-old junior Kody Dietrich was found dead with his girlfriend, 18-year-old Adalina Donoso. An employee at a nearby restaurant called police after seeing the two teens naked in the back of a parked car.
"We've been really upset about it," a St. Charles East High School student said.
The school has provided grief counseling services and therapy dogs for students and faculty in the wake of the two tragedies.
