Man, woman found dead in Marina del Rey is ruled suicide, homicide

Authorities say the deaths of a woman whose body was found on a Marina del Rey boat and a man whose body was found in a vehicle nearby Thursday evening have been ruled as homicide and suicide.

The incident was reported at around 11:10 p.m., when deputies responded to the marina in the 14000 block of Tahiti Way to conduct a welfare check on a boat, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. 

Upon arrival, deputies found a woman's body on the boat. Authorities say her death has been listed as a homicide.

"During the investigation, a member of the community, familiar with individuals who lived on the boat, alerted the Los Angeles Police Department to a vehicle parked nearby on the 100 block of Via Marina," the LASD statement said. 

They found a man dead inside of the car, which was connected to the people who lived on the boat. 

On Sunday, authorities revealed that the man, 33-year-old Kevin Nelson Jr., had died from strangulation. They ruled the death as suicide. 

The woman's identity has not yet been released. 

"There are no outstanding suspects," deputies said.
