The man's body was found in the van parked in an alley with a note saying 'DEADLY GAS' at about 10:30am yesterday morning.

Police evacuated the area…and brought in bomb searching robots to break the van windows and remove several suspicious items.

No poisonous gas was found.

Neighborhood residents were allowed to return home at about 7:00pm Tuesday night.
