Preliminary results of the autopsy conducted on Madera South High School student Graciela Martinez show that the 14-year-old freshman died of heat stroke, Madera police said Friday.
Sgt. Robert Salas said tests by the police department showed there was a problem with the lock on the door of the 1997 BMW in which she was found Wednesday afternoon.
Salas said that if the car were locked with a key, its doors could not be opened from the inside. In addition, the horn did not work without a key in the ignition, he said.

Kind of ironic, she dies locked in a BMW and the story solicits contributions for her funeral.
She fell sleep, went unconscious from heat stroke, and there’s no effort to escape at that point. Kind of like the frog placed in water set to boil, in theory.
sounds like BMW is having problems on the scale of those experienced by audi thirty years ago....
