A Russian couple having sex in a car parked in a tiny garage have died from carbon monoxide poisoning, Interfax news agency reported on Tuesday.

"A man and a woman retreated to their Volkswagen to have sex. Most likely the lovers turned on the engine to get warm," Interfax reported, citing a source in the Moscow police force.

During a moment of "intimate closeness" in the car in the south of the city, the pair inhaled the gas and died, the source added.

Many Russians keep their cars in box-like iron garages near their homes, which snugly encase their cars.
