Missing Fairfield man found dead in car in New London lot

FAIRFIELD, Conn. (AP) A 56-year-old Fairfield man reported missing by his family has been found dead in New London, but police do not believe there was foul play.

Police tell the Connecticut Post Kelly Wright traveled to Niantic and by ferry to Montauk, Long Island, to look at a boat. Wright's wife told police he called her at about 3:15 p.m. Saturday and said he might go to one of the nearby casinos.

There was no further communication from Wright and his family reported him missing to local police at about 5 p.m. Sunday.

Fairfield police tracked his car to a hotel parking lot in New London. Wright was found slumped at the wheel of the vehicle and was dead for several hours.

Police say Wright had heart and kidney disease.
