LYNNWOOD – The death of a man whose body was found inside a car Friday remains a mystery.
The Snohomish County Medical Examiner’s Office finished an autopsy Monday but there were no obvious reasons for the man’s death, Lynnwood Cmdr. Steve Rider said.
Investigators are awaiting the results of toxicology tests to determine how the man, 33, died.
A woman found the man’s body face down in the backseat of a BMW about 10:30 a.m. outside her house in the 5800 block of 208th Street SW.
Police believe the car had been there overnight.
“We have reason to believe that the body was driven there,” detective Beth Post said.
The owner of the car told police that the man had his BMW because he’d been asked to repair it, Post said.
Police know the man’s identity and are following leads. They found evidence inside the car but declined to discuss those items.
The man’s identity was not released by the medical examiner’s office Monday.
Anyone with information about the man is asked to call the Lynnwood Police Department at 425-775-1976.
