Although Skyllberg claimed that he only survived by drinking snow water, the investigators believed that he also ate ointments and other items in the car. The police initially thought he was trapped in the car during an adventure, but Andreas Ostensson, the owner of a local gas station, said that Skyllberg had been living in the forest and sleeping in his car since the summer of 2011. He often visited the gas station and nearby stores to buy hot dogs and coffee.
According to reports from International Online on February 20th, citing the UK's Daily Telegraph, Swedish man Peter Skyllberg survived for two months in his car buried under heavy snow. The media recently revealed that Skyllberg had actually been living in his car since the summer of 2011. He was also a regular customer at a local gas station.
Ostensson said that the last time he saw Skyllberg, which was at the end of last year, Skyllberg appeared to be in very good health. He claimed to have driven all over Sweden and decided to stay because he liked it here. Skyllberg looked good, dressed in camping gear, with a clean-shaven face, and seemed to be hygienic. However, it was hard to understand why such a person would choose to live alone in his car for such a long period of time.
In reality, Skyllberg lost his home due to his inability to pay his mortgage, which was then confiscated by the court. He also went through a breakup with his girlfriend. A friend of Skyllberg recently claimed that he had been on the run from debt collectors since May of last year. (Li Jinliang)
