Coroner IDs burned body found in car in Las Vegas

The Clark County coroner’s office has identified a body found in a burned car last month.

The body belonged to 40-year-old Sean P. Bryan, the coroner’s office said Wednesday.

Bryan’s body was found early June 22 on the 6600 block of Castor Tree Way. Police said the car may have been intentionally set on fire.

A nearby robbery that morning may be related to the potential homicide. The car fleeing the scene of the robbery on the 2200 block of North Rainbow Boulevard matched the description of the burning car.

Metropolitan Police Department spokesman Lt. Michael Rodriguez said Wednesday that no arrests have been made but that Metro’s homicide section is investigating.

Metro encourages anyone with information about the incident to contact the homicide section at 702-828-3521 or by email at homicide@lvmpd.com. Those who wish to remain anonymous may contact Crime Stoppers at 702-385-5555 or www.crimestoppersofnv.com.
