Belmont police are investigating the death of 77-year-old Kevin Gildea Kelly, who was found unresponsive in his parked car near a Panda Express on Wednesday evening.
Authorities have ruled out foul play in Kelly’s death. The San Mateo County Coroner’s Office confirmed his identity on Thursday as a resident of nearby San Carlos.
Kelly had reportedly entered the restaurant, dined, and then returned to his vehicle before the incident. A bystander called the police after noticing that Kelly appeared lethargic.
Responding officers attempted life-saving measures for approximately 30 minutes, but Kelly could not be revived.
Police believe the death was likely due to natural causes, although the exact cause is still under investigation. For more detailed coverage, visit this report by KTVU.
