CLEVELAND -- What began as a car on fire call has become an investigation for the Cleveland homicide department.

The Cleveland fire department responded to a car fire on Florida Avenue shortly after 7 p.m. Thursday night.

The fire department found a man inside, broke the windows and pulled the man to safety.  The fire department noticed that he appeared to have gunshot wound to his head so they called for Cleveland Police and EMS.

EMS pronounced the man, in his mid to late 20's, dead at the scene.

The fire department says the car was not actually on fire but had filled with smoke, possibly due to the man having pressed on the accelerator.

There are no other details being released except a crime scene has been blocked off with yellow crime scene tape.

The car has been towed from the scene. The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner's Office has been called to the scene.

Anyone who may have any details about what happened or what they saw should call the Cleveland Homicide Unit at 216.623.5464.

Manslaughter charges possible in boy's death

Published: Thursday, August 23, 2012, 5:55 p.m. MONROE -- Detectives believe a 7-year-old Monroe boy's parents should face second-degree manslaughter charges in connection with his January overdose death. Monroe police this week wrapped up their probe into the boy's Jan. 30 death and forwarded the case to prosecutors to decide if his parents should face criminal charges. Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Lisa Paul likely will begin reviewing the case in the coming days. She doesn't expect to make a charging decision in the near future, however. "It's quite an extensive investigation, and I want to review it thoroughly before I make any decision," she said. The boy, identified as "A.J." in court papers, ingested a lethal amount of salicylates, a chemical common in aspirin and other over-the-counter drugs. The medical examiner declined to conduct an autopsy on the boy, making it difficult to determine how the drug ended up in the boy's system. A
