Nov. 24 was a busy day for the Bothell Police Department as they responded to a morning intoxicated driving crash, as well as a welfare check turned suicide investigation later in the day.

Around 8:30 a.m., Bothell police responded to a two car collision on 240th Street Southeast and 45th Avenue Southeast involving a red Toyota 4-Runner which had smashed head-on into a Cadillac sports utility vehicle before running into a fence, according to the Bothell Police Blog.

The driver of the 4-Runner was determined to be high on unknown narcotics at the time, and police said the occupants of the 4-Runner are believed to have been committing car prowls and thefts the evening before before dropping off their stolen property.

Injuries were reported, though the nature and severity are unknown at this time.

Around 1 p.m., police also responded to a welfare check call in the 19300 block of State Route 527, Bothell Police Sgt. Ken Seuberlich said.

A 33-year-old man lived at the house, and Bothell Police Department Captain Denise Nielsen said the man’s mother had called in a welfare check after not hearing from him for days.

When they arrived at the residence, a single gunshot was heard inside.

“Then, of course, at that point it’s just secure the area,” Seuberlich said.

A King County Sheriff’s Office robot equipped with a camera was used to enter the premise, where police determined the man had killed himself.

Nielsen said it’s not known why the man killed himself, nor was she aware of any criminal investigations involving the man.

“This time of the year tends to be very difficult for a lot of people, and we tend to see more situations happen this time of year unfortunately,” Nielsen said.

SR 527 was closed until around 5 p.m.
