Fairfield Police are investigating an unattended death after a body was found inside a vehicle at the Fairfield Walmart parking lot. Officers discovered the deceased on November 22, 2025 after Walmart requested a welfare check on a car that hadn’t moved for an extended period.
Fairfield Police Chief, David Thomas, says the individual was the sole occupant of the vehicle, and there is no threat to public safety or indication of a crime. The person’s identity is being withheld until family members are notified.
The investigation is ongoing as authorities work to determine the circumstances surrounding the death.
