“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.
