A hazardous materials team from Navy Region Northwest Fire and Emergency Services spent Sunday morning in a Central Kitsap church parking lot helping local law enforcement with an apparent suicide that involved toxic chemicals.
The Kitsap County Sheriff's Office was called at 8:18 a.m. Sunday after the pastor of the Family of God Lutheran Church arrived to prepare for Sunday services and discovered the truck in her church parking lot. The pastor approached the truck and saw a computer-printed hazardous warning sign and handwritten note on the driver's window saying the truck was dangerous and to call 911, sheriff's office spokesman Scott Wilson said.
The man inside the truck has been identified as 28-year-old Anthony J. Klocke.
Deputies believe the Central Kitsap man poured chemicals into a bucket to create the deadly hydrogen sulfide gas inside the single-cab Mazda pickup. The official cause and manner of death will be determined by the Kitsap County Coroner's Office following an autopsy. The man's family was notified Sunday and deputies said a suicide note was found at his home, Wilson said.
Deputies think Klocke chose the church parking lot because he knew people would find him Sunday morning on their way to church service, Wilson said.
Central Kitsap Fire and Rescue crews also responded to the busy intersection of Central Valley and Fairgrounds roads where the church is located to help because authorities were initially unsure how dangerous the truck was. Using its equipment the hazardous materials team was able to test the truck and determine it was safe for crews to approach the vehicle.
Initial reports Sunday that the truck would explode or that Washington State Patrol's bomb squad had been called to help were wrong, Wilson said.
