A man was declared dead at the scene of a vehicle - home crash in Brownsburg.

But it doesn't look like it's the crash that killed him.

Just after 4:30 p.m Tuesday., Hendricks County deputies were dispatched to the report of an unknown type of vehicle collision, where the vehicle had reportedly struck a residence near Eagle Crossing Drive and Memorial Knoll Drive near Brownsburg.  

When deputies arrived on scene, they discovered a four-door passenger car had struck the rear of a residence.

Residents were inside the home at the time of the crash, but no one inside the home was injured.  

Upon inspection of the vehicle, deputies located the driver and sole occupant of the vehicle.  The unidentified male suffered what appears to be a gunshot wound in the trunk of his body and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Detectives and crime scene investigators were called to the scene.

Additional information may be released as it becomes available.
