A long Seattle Police investigation closed Denny between Harvard and Broadway Tuesday night after a man died on the street as he was being driven to a nearby hospital.

Seattle Fire was called to the area just after 5 PM along with SPD to try to find a 911 caller who reported their passenger was suffering a serious medical issue and they were trying to make their way to the hospital. Seattle Fire found the vehicle in the 800 block of E Denny where the driver had pulled over to try to perform CPR on the patient.

Seattle Fire reports the 59-year-old was pronounced dead when its units arrived.

Seattle Police shut down Denny for an hours-long closure following the incident. A department spokesperson tells CHS its officers were performing a standard death investigation.
