Federal Way police are currently investigating a suspicious death that occurred on Saturday.
According to witnesses, a 34-year-old Federal Way man accidentally stabbed himself in the stomach around 4:40 p.m. in the 35300 block of 13th Way S.
Police spokeswoman Cathy Schrock said the man was unconscious when police arrived.
“Witnesses on scene indicated the victim dropped a filet knife and somehow stabbed himself in the stomach,” Schrock wrote in an email. “The victim was transported to Harborview [Medical Center] but was pronounced dead on arrival.”
The King County Medical Examiner’s office has not determined how the stabbing occurred, however, Schrock said they believe it is not a homicide.
Because this is an ongoing investigation, the Mirror will update this report as more information is available.
