New video obtained by News 12 shows the moments before 64-year-old Peter Forrest was found dead in an ambulette vehicle Monday morning.

Surveillance video shows just before 9 a.m., a Marquis Ambulette parked on the end of Castle Hill and Hart Street.

Nearly a half an hour later, a man gets out and heads into a separate car with a woman.

By 10 a.m., a second worker for the ambulette company discovers Forrest's body inside the van.

Police say the Forrest was a company employee, but they are still investigating what led up to his death.

“He's a quiet guy,” said the man living in the same apartment building as Forrest. “You only see him going in and out of the building, that’s it. He doesn’t say nothing to nobody.”

Another neighbor describes him as a nice guy, who typically stayed to himself.

News 12 reached out to Marquis Ambulette multiple times. Representatives for the company say they are cooperating with the investigation.
