A police vehicular homicide investigation into the nontraffic fatality determined the man's 2007 Mercedes Benz S550 sedan was moving backward in the driveway close to the house with the victim outside the open driver's door.
The medical examiner is awaiting confirmation of the man's identity before releasing his name.
