[Ol' Dan Tucker]

Corvettes have had electrically operated door latches since 2005.

There was a famous case of an old guy who got into his car and couldn't get out due to a dead battery. He and his pet dog died of heat stroke.

Had he read the owner's manual after he bought the car, he would have known there are manual door releases on each door sill.

Is it possible he read the manual and forgot the instructions? Or panicked?
