A man committed suicide at the Dana Point Harbor Wednesday afternoon.
According to Dana Point Police Chief Lt. Lynn Koehmstedt, a 64-year-old man died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head while seated in his pickup truck in a parking lot near Dana Point Harbor Drive and Cove Road at about 2:30 p.m. Feb. 6.
Paramedics pronounced the man dead at the scene.
No one else was injured.
The man appeared to have been suffering from extensive medical complications, Koehmstedt said.
The identity of the deceased has not been released by the coroner’s office.
Sad.
He was great man, a great friend, and the pain of his loss is felt by many.
You were a good man Rick, and will be missed by us all. Smooth sailing on your next voyage.
