DOVER — Police and the medical examiner’s office are investigating a death at the Dover Transportation Center parking lot that appears to be self-inflicted.

Dover police Lt. Carey Beaulieu said Dover Fire and Rescue was dispatched to the parking lot at 33 Chestnut St. at approximately 1:25 p.m. Friday for a medical aid call that soon brought the police. Investigators found a deceased man slumped over in a gray Saab, Beaulieu said, adding the man appeared to have died from a single gunshot wound to the head. Police do not believe there was any foul play involved, Beaulieu said.

Dover police investigators were taking pictures of the car and the deceased along with an investigator from the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner. The medical examiner makes a final determination on manner and cause of death.

Beaulieu said the name of the man is being withheld until police can positively identify him and notify his next of kin.

Joe Levire of Dover was at the parking lot. He said he saw the man slumped over and went to check on the man. Levire said he grabbed the man's arm; saying it was very stiff. He said another man then called 911.
