No Sign Of Foul Play In Man's Death At Brick Walmart: Police

BRICK, NJ — The death of a Toms River man who was found unresponsive Monday in a vehicle at Walmart remains under investigation Tuesday, Brick Township police said.

Craig Turner, 43, of Toms River, died despite efforts of police and EMS to revive him, Sgt. Jim Kelly said. The cause of death remains under investigation, but there was no indication of foul play at the scene, he said.

Turner was found unconscious and unresponsive about 6:45 p.m. Monday by a bystander who reported it to police on patrol in the parking lot at the Walmart on Route 88, Kelly said. Turner was not breathing and did not have a pulse when he was found sitting in the vehicle.

Turner had recently been reported missing from Toms River, Kelly said.

Ocean County Sheriff’s Office and the county Medical Examiner’s Office responded to assist at the scene, which had residents talking because of the number of law enforcement vehicles and the placement of crime scene tape during the investigation.
