PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- The man found dead in a car in the Cowesett Corners parking lot in Warwick on Monday died of a combination of opiates and alcohol, Dr. Thomas Gilson, chief state medical examiner, ruled on Wednesday.

Police Tuesday identified the man as Bryan Madeiros, 42, of Pawtucket, and had said that they did not consider the death suspicious.

A shopper noticed that the vehicle she parked beside in the lot of the shopping center at Quaker Lane (Route 2) and Cowesett Road was running, and that the man inside wasn't moving. She notified the police.

Madeiros graduated from East Providence High School in 1984.

C'mon Projo.....does the entire world need to know what this man's cause of death was? It would have been much more appropriate to just say that foul play had been ruled out...end of story.
Have some compassion for his family.

Yes it does...they may have a major drug problem there. No sense covering it up.
