Three U.S. Marines were found dead inside a parked car at a gas station in a coastal North Carolina community over the weekend, authorities said.
The Pender County Sheriff’s Office said deputies were responding to a report of a missing person when they found the three Marines at about 9 a.m. Sunday at a Speedway convenience store on U.S. 17 in Hampstead, about 30 miles south of Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune.
Their causes of death weren’t immediately clear. The Pender County Sheriff’s Office said it was investigating further.
“There does not appear to have ever been any threat to members of the community,” the sheriff’s office said.
