SAN JOSE, Calif. – A man and a woman were found dead in a parked car near San Jose State University on Saturday afternoon, and authorities are investigating the circumstances of their deaths.<\/p>\n
Found unresponsive<\/p>\n
What we know<\/p>\n
Police at SJSU told KTVU that units were called just after 2 p.m. to a parking garage located at 350 S. 4th St. after a man and a woman were found unresponsive inside a parked car.<\/p>\n
When officers arrived, they immediately began providing medical aid to the man and woman before first responders pronounced both dead at the scene.<\/p>\n
“Our officers arrived on scene, made contact, immediately started medical aid to the two subjects, you had a male adult and an adult female,” said Captain Jermaine Thomas with the San Jose State University Police Department. “After our current investigation, they are non-affiliates, they are not associated with the campus or students.”<\/p>\n
Police are investigating the possibility of an overdose, although the exact cause of death remains under investigation.<\/p>\n
Campus police said there is no threat to the university community and no suspects are being sought.<\/p>\n
“The initial call came up that someone saw them in the vehicle earlier today, which then they saw them a few hours later and that’s when we were notified,” Thomas said.<\/p>\n
What we don’t know<\/p>\n
Their identities were withheld pending notification of their next of kin.<\/p>\n
Investigators say they are reviewing campus surveillance video as the investigation continues.<\/p>\n
San Jose State says spring classes and graduation ceremonies have already wrapped up, so there were fewer students on campus Saturday.<\/p>\n
Community reaction<\/p>\n
The parking garage is open to the public 24 hours a day and requires payment to park.<\/p>\n
Some students and recent graduates said the incident was concerning.<\/p>\n
“I feel better in the campus, versus when I walk out of the campus, the area is very sketchy, might be a lot of drugs around,” said San Jose State student Anthony Garcia. “I always look around my surroundings.”<\/p>\n
Rebekah Rardin, who recently graduated from San Jose State, said she parked in the same garage Saturday while attending FanimeCon nearby.<\/p>\n
“I feel like that’s pretty crazy, we do get police reports through our school emails about different kinds of crimes, but there’s normally just graffiti stuff like that,” she said. “So I feel like this is pretty intense.”<\/p>\n
“I commute here, so I was only here maybe once a week in the evening and so I felt generally safe,” Rardin added. “But since I had evening classes I would have a friend walk me back to my car just to be safe.”<\/p>\n
