The Lewis County Coroner’s Office says the cause of death for a man found in his vehicle parked at a convenience store near Adna last Thursday can’t be determined until the results come back from toxicology tests.

Aid and deputies called about 1:45 p.m. that day to state Route 6 and Highway 603 learned the car had been parked there since as early as 9 a.m.

The man, Daniel Richart, 52, is from Olympia, according to Coroner Warren McLeod.

An autopsy showed no signs of foul play or injury, according to McLeod.
