D. 5232 of the Riviera Beach Police Department. I called and spoke telephonically with Detective Rott who informed me that he was currently located at 3119 Contego Lane investigating the suspected gunshot suicide death of an adult white male with the body still present at the undisturbed scene and requests that I respond. I initiated my response to the scene at approximately nine forty p.m. and arrived at the scene at approximately ten fifteen p.m. Upon my arrival at the scene, I met with Detective Andrew Hines, I. D. 5578 of the Riviera Beach Police Department who informed me that the decedent is identified as Mr. Alan Kleiman. Mr. Kleiman is a forty six year old white male with a date of birth of January 22, 1967 who was found dead inside his locked and secured residence at about six ten p.m. this date by his friend, Ms. Lynada Little, 561-951-0152 who had been unable to make contact with Mr. Kleiman for several days and drove to his house and was unable to get an answer at the front door. Ms. Little used her pass key to unlock the front door and entered the house where she found Mr. Kleiman and called 911 with both the Riviera Beach Police Department and the Riviera Beach Fire Rescue responding with fire rescue determining Mr. Kleiman to be dead. Detective Hines stated that Mr. Patrick Paige, 561-818-9208 is also informed of the death. Mr. Paige is reportedly Mr. Kleiman’s business partner and he informed Detective Hines that he last communicated with Mr. Kleiman via text messaging on Sunday, April 21. The content of the text messages are unknown to Detective Hines. Also, Mr. Louis Kleiman is reportedly the decedent’s father and legal next of kin. Detective Rott is reportedly enroute at this time to inform Mr. Kleiman of his son’s of the death. Detective Hines further stated that from information obtained thus far from Ms. Little and Mr. Paige, Mr. Kleiman has been wheel chair bound for several years due to a remote motorcycle crash. At this time the details involving the date, time, location and circumstances regarding the motorcycle crash are unknown. However, Mr. Kleiman reportedly has been medically treated for the past several years through the Veterans Administration due to the medical issues associated with the motorcycle crash. Detective Hines stated that upon their entry into Mr. Kleiman’s house, Mr. Kleiman was sitting in his wheelchair next the bed. There was a semiautomatic handgun lying on the bed next to the body and what appears to be a gunshot hole into the side of the bed mattress. Detective Hines further informed me that per Ms. Little and Mr. Paige, that to their knowledge, Mr. Kleiman did not have any previous suicide threats or attempts.
