BURBANK >> Police on Friday were investigating the death of a 34-year-old man who may have shot himself outside of a Burbank hotel.

Police responded around 11 p.m. Thursday to a call of shots fired at the Los Angeles Marriott Burbank Airport at 2500 N. Hollywood Way. Officers found a man’s body and recovered a gun at the scene, said Burbank police Sgt. John Pfrommer.

When paramedics from the Burbank Fire Department arrived, the man was found lying on the ground, suffering from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, in the valet area outside of the hotel, police said.

The man was pronounced dead at the scene.

The shooting may have been a suicide, Pfrommer said. The L.A. County Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner’s office will determine the official cause of death.

A convention was being held at the hotel, Pfrommer said, but it wasn’t immediately clear if the man was an attendee.

The man’s name has not been released, police said.
