Stamford police investigate apparent suicide in parking lot

STAMFORD — Police are investigating the apparent suicide of a man who they say killed himself with a shotgun in a Harvard Avenue parking lot Wednesday morning.

Capt. Richard Conklin said a man who pulled into the parking lot called police when he spotted the victim on the ground next to a shotgun around 7 a.m. Wednesday.

Conklin said a suicide note was not found at the scene and the man’s next of kin was still being notified Wednesday afternoon.

Conklin said there were no reports of gunfire.

“It it is a very isolated area, which is very close to I-95 and that would drown out any noise, so no one reported the gunshot,” Conklin said.
