UPDATE 9:30 P.M.

We’ve learned who the victim is, and it’s unclear whether he was in his vehicle or outside of it when he died, but he was found outside of the vehicle. He was working in a rural part of Richland County when this occurred. Authorities are attempting to find out the cause, but it appears to be natural. There is no indication whatsoever of foul play.

Out of respect for the family, we are withholding the name until the sheriff makes the announcement tomorrow.
