Police ID Man Found Dead in West Hartford Parking Lot

West Hartford police have identified the 23-year-old man whose body was found in a car parked in a Brace Road lot Saturday night.

Police said they were called just before 6 p.m. for a report that someone was sleeping in a car. Officers quickly realized the person, identified as Andrew Carbone, of South Glastonbury, was not breathing, so they broke a window to get in and found that he was dead.

Detectives told NBC Connecticut the cause of death was not obvious. Police are still waiting on the report from the medical examiner's office. 

The parking lot is a popular spot to park for those visiting the West Hartford Center, and it’s right next to a quiet neighborhood.

Police said there is no danger to the public. 

The investigation is ongoing.
