PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — Philadelphia detectives are searching for a car they believe may be connected with the suspicious death of a 93-year-old military veteran.

The man was found dead around 3 p.m. Friday on the second floor of his home, located along 16th Street, about a block from Stenton Park. He had lacerations – tears at the skin – on both his head and chest.

Blood was found inside his home, sources said, but his death has not been ruled a homicide.

Investigators said his wallet, keys and car are gone.

They’ve released a picture of the car, pictured above. It’s a white 2007 Chrysler 300, with the license plate GRJ-5294. Officials hope someone will recognize it. Anyone with information about the man’s death, or his missing belongings is asked to call the police at 215-686-8477.
