Man found dead in van on Rehoboth property identified, prosecutors say

A man who was found dead in a van at a Rehoboth property Friday has been identified, according to prosecutors.

David Lunn, 54, was found dead in a “workstyle van” at 107 County St., where a pregnant teen was allegedly murdered last month. Lunn was found unresponsive on the property by a relative just before 7 a.m. Friday morning, the Bristol County District Attorney’s Office said in a press release.

Lunn’s wife, 48, was also found unresponsive in the van, according to the DA’s office. She was hospitalized in critical but stable condition, along with two dogs, who were released to Rehoboth Animal Control and appeared to be in good condition.

Rehoboth police investigated and found that the couple had been living on the property for a few weeks in the van, which is registered out of Vermont, prosecutors said. Rehoboth fire officials also did a carbon monoxide check of the van, but found no presence of carbon monoxide.

The police investigation revealed a possible history of substance abuse by the couple, but this has not been linked to Lunn’s death, according to the DA’s office. The investigation will remain open until the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner has determined Lunn’s cause of death.
