A man found dead in a vehicle parked inside the Santa Clarita Kaiser Permanente parking structure Saturday morning has been identified, officials said.
71-year-old Charles Baudoin was identified as the man pronounced dead on scene Saturday morning, according to Sarah Ardalani, spokesperson for the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner’s office.
A resident of Saugus, Baudoin was located inside a vehicle with a gunshot wound to the head, and his cause of death has since been ruled as a suicide, according to the Coroner’s office.
Around 7:30 a.m. Saturday, emergency responders received reports of a medical emergency in the Kaiser parking structure on the 27000 block of Tourney Road, according to Jonathan Matheny, a spokesperson with the Los Angeles County Fire Department.
