Gallup Police Department has released the name of the man found deceased in a car Tuesday.

GPD Capt. Marinda Spencer said Saied Alassi, 38, was parked in front of a relative's house on the 500 block of South Ford Drive. Family reportedly made the grim discovery. At this juncture, Spencer is not clear if he lived in the home.

Spencer said police were called to the scene at about 1:50 pm where they found the unresponsive Alassi in a maroon, four-door sedan.

"The preliminary (investigation) doesn't show any signs of foul play," Spencer said.

Detectives, and on-scene investigators from the Office of the Medical Investigator searched the vehicle for clues that may be tied to the man's death. His body was transported to the OMI in Albuquerque for an autopsy, Spencer said.
