parked minivan for weeks before noticing that its occupant was dead, the
deceased man's daughter has claimed. Jennifer Morales said she spoke to her 59-year-old father in early May. She believes that he may
have died from a heart attack while sitting in the family's Chevrolet Ventura.

Did you Know...?

Traffic First: The first known signal device for regulating street traffic was installed in 1868 in London near the Houses of Parliament. Designed by railroad signal engineer JP Knight, it had two semaphore arms that indicated either "stop" or "caution," depending on their position. At night, red and green gas lights were used.
Later, but Better:
A contender for inventor of the first electric traffic light is Lester Wire of Salt Lake City. The lights were colored with red and green dye and shone through circular openings.
