The elderly man whose dead body was found in a motorhome on West Eighth Street last month has been labeled a “suspicious death” by the Gilroy Police Department.
“We are not releasing any information yet, but the way his body was found was suspicious,” said Police Sgt. Pedro Espinoza.
By next week, Espinoza said detectives will be done with their investigation and will divulge more information.
At 7:37 p.m. June 14, Gilroy Police officers and Gilroy Fire personnel were dispatched to the 0-100 block of West Eighth Street regarding a possible dead body that had been located within a motorhome.
