The 28-year-old was found in his Lexus just after midnight Sunday by staff at the Tesoro station at 151 W. 10600 South, Sgt. Victor Quezada said. Surveillance tape shows he arrived about 2 p.m. Saturday.
The station was open for business the entire time.
Police have found no evidence of foul play and are investigating the death as a suicide unless the autopsy indicates otherwise, Quezada said.
"What does concern us is the amount of time it took to discover this person," Quezada said. "I don't want to chew out the public, but it makes me scratch my head how people can get gas next to him, see someone slumped over and not call the police and say anything. It's a two-second phone call."
Quezada described the Tesoro as a "very popular gas station," positioned close to Interstate 15. He did not know how many patrons may have passed the Lexus before an attendant called police.
