Pomona police are investigating the apparent suicide of an adult male Saturday afternoon inside an automobile that displayed several signs taped to the windows that read “Suicide by Gas”.
At 3:42 p.m., Pomona police received a radio call about a strong odor coming from a vehicle parked in the 3700 block of North Garey Avenue, the department said in a statement.
