Bloomington Police discovered a dead body in a vehicle at 4 a.m. Wednesday at Marsh Supermarket at 1825 N. Kinser Pike after the manager of the store called about a suspicious vehicle outside.
One of the workers cleaning the floors was the original complainant and informed the manager that the vehicle, a white 1999 Mercury Sedan with Indiana plates and a front Alaska plate, had been parked there for a long period of time.
The manager then proceeded to call the police and reported the situation.
Police arrived, investigated and discovered a 67-year-old male dead in his vehicle. There were no signs around the vehicle that indicated foul play or intent to harm the man, Bloomington Police Department Capt. Steve Kellams said.
However, there was no indication of the cause of death. His medical condition is currently unknown.
A receipt from Marsh was found in his car and showed a purchase from 9:20 p.m.
BPD said they believe he had been dead for most of the night based off the receipt and the time when the call was made to them about suspicious activity.
The male was identified from his plates and the Alaskan license found in his wallet, Kellams said.
Police are currently not revealing his name to inform any family and relatives first.
