Police Investigate Sudden Death in Grocery Store's Parking Lot

A body was found inside an SUV in the parking lot of an Alexandria, Virginia, grocery store Thursday night. 

Police called the incident at the Safeway on King Street a "sudden death" but said Friday afternoon that is not a suspicious death investigation.

At least two windows on the SUV were broken when first responders tried to help the victim, Alexandria police spokeswoman Crystal Nosal said. 

Police have not released a lot of information about the investigation, but officers could be seen examining an SUV in the parking lot at about 8:30 p.m. Thursday.

"This is a case for the medical examiner," Nosal said. 

Investigators have not released any information about the victim.
