Body found in car at beach
A Half Moon Bay police officer was shocked to find the body of a man inside a locked car early Wednesday morning with a single bullet wound to the head, according to Police Chief Don O'Keefe.The police officer was conducting a regular patrol of the Poplar Beach parking lot on Wednesday at 4:25 a.m. when he came across a car with a white male inside, slumped back on the reclining driver's seat. The man, a 40-year-old resident of Santa Clara whose name has not yet been released, appeared to have died of a single gunshot wound, O'Keefe said.
Police said they believe the shot was self-inflicted. O'Keefe cited as evidence the fact that the car doors were locked and a handgun was found inside. The man's wallet and keys were with him and had not been stolen, he said.
O'Keefe could not confirm whether the handgun was registered to the victim. He said that the San Mateo County Sheriff's crime lab would determine the ballistics of the gun to see whether the bullet casing came from the gun in the car.
The coroner's office plans to officially determine cause of death in the coming days.
