Early news reports described a "body ... discovered ... in the trunk of a Mercedes-Benz." It is unclear whether the man was killed or committed suicide. An investigation is ongoing, according to Susan Schroeder of the Orange County District Attorney's Office.

As we reported earlier, Jason Jesus Gomez, the 35-year-old inmate who was comatose for one week after being Tasered by OC sheriff's deputies, was pronounced dead on Tuesday.
