When I first read this I immediately thought it was another sad homeless death. However, knowing that the nearby car belonged to the victim that changes things. Since no foul play is suspected, it sounds much more likely to have been a natural death. Sad for his family. RIP.

It sounds like there still is no identity of the deceased. If that Dodge was his, why can't they identify him? My car has CA registration and proof of insurance in the glove compartment with my name on them.

I immediately thought of a homeless man too. He could've been a homeless gentleman living out of his vehicle, but if it's a 2021, maybe not. Perhaps the police know his identity and they haven't notified next of kin.

Rest in peace.

What's the mystery here? Man lies dead halfway between the ATM and his car. I would look into ATM transactions overnight, camera footage, and who was with him. Then, I would start looking for that person or persons.
