Chief Deputy Russ Perdock of the Lake County Coroner's Office said Thursday that the man was Frank Krush, 70, of Upper Lake.
As Lake County News previously reported, Lakeport Police responded Tuesday evening to a report of a; man down at the Mendo-Lake Credit Union, located in the Willow Tree Shopping Center on 11th Street.
Lt. Brad Rasmussen of Lakeport Police said police found Krush's body in his passenger vehicle.
Lakeport Police conducted an investigation but found nothing suspicious, Rasmussen said.
Perdock confirmed that there was nothing suspicious about Krush's death, which they believe resulted from natural causes.
Krush has no next of kin locally, said Perdock, so finding family to notify has been a challenge for the Coroner's Office.
