I remember reading about a Comanche in the USA; as I recall it was being flown on autopilot at night and exhaust fumes entered the cockpit rendering the pilot unconscious. Overflew destination, ran out of fuel and made a perfect deadstick landing in a snowy field. Pilot regained consciousness, unhurt (except for headache!) and brought a replacement on the insurance!
