Hyperthermia is a condition where the body temperature rises beyond normal.

Asphyxiation occurs when the supply of oxygen drops to a level where an individual cannot breathe normally.

Hyperthermia (heatstroke) or hyperthermia with asphyxiation are the most common causes of death related to unintentional trunk entrapment.
