No Foul Play Suspected After Body is Found in a Vehicle on Highway 50

The Carson City Sheriff’s Office says a woman who was found dead inside a vehicle of Highway 50 likely died of natural causes. Deputies and detectives were called to the 5000 block of Hwy 50 East around noon Tuesday, after a tow truck driver discovered the woman’s body. The sheriff’s office said a business owner called the tow company to remove the vehicle believing it had been abandoned for a long period of time. Detectives say the woman had been living in the vehicle, and said she was covered up in blankets and clothing making it hard to see her from the outside. The sheriff’s office said there appears to be no foul play.
