A man found deceased in his truck at Allsup’s west by a store customer Aug. 30, has been identified as Michael James Yazzie, 73, of Sawmill, Ariz.

Gallup Police responded to the scene at about 7:05 pm. A store clerk said the victim had been parked outside of the store for at least a couple of hours before the curious customer intervened.

The witness told police that Yazzie had no pulse, and paramedics confirmed this when they arrived on scene. Foul play doesn’t appear to be a factor in this case, GPD Capt. Marinda Spencer said, and it appears Yazzie likely passed away from natural causes.
