The Napa Police Department responded to the home around 12:30
p.m. on Tuesday to make a welfare check on the 54-year-old man
who had not been seen or heard from since the end of last month,
the department said in a statement.
Police entered through the apartment's unlocked door and found
his body stuffed inside a horizontal freezer box, the statement
said.
There were no signs of forced entry into the home or a struggle
inside, police said, adding that authorities would attempt to
determine whether the case was a homicide or suicide.
Napa, the state's wine-producing region, is a city of nearly
80,000 people some 50 miles (80 km) north of San Francisco.
