PORT ANGELES — Deputies were working over the weekend to notify the next of kin of a man found dead in a car at a business in the 2700 block of U.S. Highway 101 east of Port Angeles.
Sgt. Harold Edwards of the Clallam County Sheriff’s Office said a deputy found the man dead of a single gunshot wound in a locked car after he was reported dead at about 9 a.m. Saturday.
Edwards said the man’s girlfriend found him after looking for him because she hadn’t heard from him since the previous evening.
The man, who deputies did not identify, seemed to be about 30, Edwards said.
“This was a tragic event,” Chief Criminal Deputy Amy Bundy wrote in an email Monday. “Out of respect for the family, we will not be issuing a press release or releasing any additional information.”
