A man was found dead inside his car in Death Valley National Park, and officials believe extreme heat was the cause.
The 65-year-old man from San Diego was discovered by a maintenance worker on July 3. The man was pronounced dead at the scene.
The incident occurred as temperatures soared to over 100 degrees in the park.
The car had two flat tires and a broken air conditioning system, according to the NPS. The vehicle’s front driver-side window was rolled down when it was found, as well, which was ” further indication that the air conditioning was not functioning when the man was driving.”
The victim, who has not been publicly identified, was pronounced dead at the scene. According to their initial investigation, heat-related illness “may have caused the driver to run off road,” according to the park service.
The Inyo County Coroner’s Office did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
