RIP JULIE GASPAR (March 8, 1970 – October 8, 2024)

Formal pronouncement of death was made on Tuesday at 7:20 a.m.

The decedent was found lifeless inside a locked car at Wilson Park in Torrance.

Officers had been sent to the 2200 block of Crenshaw Boulevard at around 7:15 a.m. They broke the car window to gain access inside.

The Department of Medical Examiner publicly disclosed the CoD ruling in mid-January, presumably after the results of tox screening had come back from the lab.

Metoprolol, sold under the brand name Lopressor among others, is a medication used to treat angina and a number of conditions involving an abnormally fast heart rate.
