A 73-year-old man was found dead inside his car yesterday (Wednesday) in the Argana Alta neighbourhood of Arrecife in Lanzarote, according to reports from CECOES, the Emergency Services Coordination Centre.
The incident came to light early yesterday afternoon when concerned neighbours noticed that the man had been sitting in his car for an unusually long time, prompting them to alert the authorities.
The National Police and an ambulance were dispatched to the location given, and upon arrival, medical personnel conducted an initial assessment but could only confirm that the man was dead.
Medical reports indicate that the man had been dead for approximately two hours before he was discovered.
The National Police guarded the body until the appropriate judicial authority arrived to officially certify the death, at which point it was taken away for official identification and autopsy to determine the cause of his death, which is expected to be from natural causes.
