The cause of death of a 24-year-old Lake in the Hills man found dead in a vehicle in rural Boone County remains under investigation.

Kevin Zent was found in the vehicle at 8:35 a.m on Monday on Spring Center Road 1/4-mile south of Shattuck Road in Belvidere in rural Boone County, according to a Boone County Sheriff’s Office press release.

A man living in the area reported the death after finding Zent alone in the vehicle Monday morning. That same man noticed the vehicle in the area a day earlier and called it in as a suspicious vehicle, according to the Boone County Sheriff’s Office.
