The body of a recently deceased 39-year-old female was discovered by Seattle Police (SPD) in an abandoned SUV in the parking lot of Seattle Children’s Hospital on March 13 at approximately 2 a.m., according to The Jason Rantz Show on KTTH.

Sources told Rantz there was a note left on the car explaining she died of an overdose and the people who left her there were not responsible for the death.
