The King County Medical Examiner is investigating the cause of death of a man found deceased in a car in Shoreline early Wednesday morning.

King County Sheriff's Office Sgt. Cindi West said a deputy came upon the car, which was parked near the intersection NE 174th Street and 5th Avenue NE with its hazard lights flashing.

Police called major crimes to the scene because the officer saw some blood in the car, West said, but as of this morning other reports indicate foul play is not suspected. The Medical Examiner's report is expected to be released later today; Patch will update this story as more information becomes available.
