KENT, Wash. - Police are investigating the death of a man who was found slumped in an SUV in the middle of a busy highway with a bullet wound on Sunday.
Police and medics initially responded to the scene, on Pacific Highway South near Kent-Des Moines Road, at about 11:45 a.m.
They found a white GMC Yukon parked in the northbound lanes of the highway. Inside the vehicle was a lone man slumped over the steering wheel with a gunshot wound to the abdomen.
Officers and medics pulled the man from the vehicle and tried to save him, but they were not successful, said Lt. John Straus of the Kent Police Department.
The victim, a 32-year-old man from South King County, was pronounced dead a short time later.
Now detectives are trying to determine if the death is accidental, homicide or a self-inflicted injury.
Straus said a weapon was found inside the vehicle.
More details will be released as they become available.
