Virginia State Police (VSP) have identified the body found inside a vehicle at an I-66 rest stop near Manassas Wednesday as a 51-year-old man of Haymarket. An autopsy has determined the man died of natural causes, according to police.

A Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) employee notified state police of the body found around 2:11 p.m. Wednesday. State police immediately responded to the scene to investigate, resulting in the rest stop (at mile marker 48) on westbound I-66 just prior to Manassas being shut down temporarily. Heavier-than-normal traffic was also reported on the interstate in the area during the investigation.
