Two men are being questioned by police after they were traveling with an elderly man before he was found dead in a parked car outside a local hospital.

The 93-year-old’s body was found in the backseat of the car outside a hospital in Corowa, on the border of NSW and Victoria, at around 5am on Monday.

The elderly man is believed to have been traveling in a car with Victoria number plates along with a 33-year-old man and an 18-year-old woman.

All three were from Werribee, south-west of Melbourne, Victoria Police said on Tuesday.

NSW Police from the Murray River Police District responded first to the incident before contacting Victoria Police.
