Gene Lamar Engle, 59, of Lancaster, was found behind the Target in East Lampeter Township on Wednesday June 9, according to the coroner.

The autopsy was performed on June 11.

His death is not thought to be suspicious and a toxicology report is pending before an official cause of death is made.

The toxicology report is not expected for several weeks.

Engle has struggled with substance abuse since 1995, according to court records.

He has pled guilty to several of those offences including one incident where he was found unconscious in an elementary school baseball field in Manheim Township in 2018.

His most recent substance abuse charge was in April for huffing.

The length of time Engle's body was in the back lot of Target is unknown.
