News in Brief: Woman Freezes to Death - Locked Keys in Car

Bryan Belrad
A woman's body was found in the parking lot of the Whiteside Mountain nature trail, in North Carolina, just outside of her locked SUV.

The Macon County medical examiner determined that she died of hypothermia. The police identified her as Sandra Ordner of Daphne, Alabama. Also, they discovered the vehicle's keys locked inside.

She had phoned her husband just hours before to tell him she was going hiking.

Now, tragic as this story is, one must wonder: if faced with certain death, is it too much to just break a window?

The moral of the story: forget your keys OR your cell phone - not both.
