How did people die in a boxcar?

People in boxcars suffocated, were trampled, had heart attacks, suffered from being crushed to death. This answer is from a man I met when I was a child and he told me of his experience being taken from his home and transported to Dachau prison camp via boxcar.

The vents were at the top of the box car so many were overcome by the heat.
