MINZNER, Judge.
Defendant Larry Smith (Smith), personal representative of the estate of Hadroudj Bishop (wife), originally appealed a jury award of $93,000 for wrongful death in favor of plaintiff Jere Corlett (Corlett), personal representative of the estate of Harry S. Bishop (husband). See Corlett v. Smith, 106 N.M. 207, 740 P.2d 1191 (Ct.App.1987). The complaint for wrongful death alleged that wife negligently operated her motor vehicle in the garage of the residence and that carbon monoxide traveled into the bedroom where husband was sleeping, causing his death.
