Sapulpa police have confirmed a deceased man was found in his car in the parking lot adjacent to Sapulpa’s “Guardian of the Plains” buffalo statue on Tuesday evening.
Police told Sapulpa Times that the man, identified as 59-year-old Steven Honeywell, was found by a family member just before 7:00 pm after going missing for a portion of the day.
According to the statement by police, Honeywell had recently been under the care of a nearby VA hospital, which led them to discover what they say is an “extensive medical history,” which they believe may have played a role in Honeywell’s death, although confirmation has not yet been made by the medical examiner.
Police say nothing about the death seems suspicious at this time, that family has been notified, and that they are not looking for anyone else connected to this incident.
