The CHP said he did not appear to be wearing his seat belt, and he was unresponsive and had no pulse when they found him. He was taken to the hospital but pronounced dead

The CHP said he did not appear to be wearing a seat belt, and that while they suspect alcohol to be a contributing factor, the toxicology results are pending.
