GARY — The death of a Posen, Illinois, man found in a vehicle with a gunshot wound to his leg has been ruled accidental by the Lake County coroner's office.

Police found Christopher Mullins, 33, slumped over the wheel of a vehicle about 7 p.m. Tuesday after a passer-by on a bicycle noticed him and called police, officials said.

Police said Mullins was found in the 1400 block of Virginia Street and taken to a local hospital. A coroner's release said Mullins was wounded in the 1100 block of Virginia Street.

Police said it was unclear how long Mullins was in the car before the passer-by saw him.

Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Sgt. John Basaldua at (219) 881-1210. To remain anonymous, call (866) CRIME-GP.
