Body Found in Jeep
Biloxi police are investigating a death in the Love’s Gas Station parking lot on Cedar Lake Road this afternoon.
Harrison County Coroner Gary Hargrove says a 44-year-old white female was deceased in the driver’s seat of a black Jeep with North Carolina tags.
According to Lieutenant Christopher De Back, the Biloxi Police Department responded to a call around 5:40 this afternoon after a person spotted a woman who appeared to be unresponsive in her car. Upon further investigation, Lt. De Back says the victim has been dead for several days.
While the death is suspicious, Lt. De Back says the current investigation reveals no signs of foul play at the time. “It’s an unintended death that we’re going to treat as a suspicious death until we can prove otherwise and that’s exactly what it is right now. Again, the scene is still being processed. We have not found anything suspicious in nature at this time. However, again, we are still investigating.”
Gary Hargrove says the next of kin who has been notified lives out of state. The cause of death will be revealed tomorrow after an autopsy is complete.
