A MAN from Bushey has been found dead in his car in a Colindale car park.
Mr Paul Williams, 37, of Bushey, was discovered after officers and paramedics were called to reports of a shooting in the rear car park of Dolland and Atchison opticians in The Hyde shortly after 2pm on Thursday last week.
A police spokeswoman said: "We believe at this early stage that the male victim shot himself. He was pronounced dead at the scene at 2.34pm. His body was taken to Northwick Park Hospital.
"The victim's next of kin have been informed and the Serious Crime Group North West London is investigating."
A post mortem found Mr Williams had died of a gun shot wound to the head.
An inquest into his death was opened on Tuesday at Hornsey Coroners Court and adjourned until a later date.
