A TORQUAY man, who is believed to have died in his torched car, has been described as a lovable but volatile businessman who worked in the seafood industry.
Police believe that Mark Scherini, 55, died in his car, which was discovered burnt-out next to a reservoir south-west of Geelong on Tuesday night.
The grim discovery is the third suspicious death in the state within days and follows the discovery of the body of a woman in her 60s at Port Melbourne on Tuesday and the death of Karina Bell, 24, whose body was discovered in a Caulfield laneway on Monday.

Both women were from Southbank, but police have ruled out any link between their deaths.
Mr Scherini, who was married with grown-up children, was a manager for Mantzaris Fisheries in Geelong.
A former colleague said he was a top salesman, who could be abrasive. ”He has a brash way about him and could make enemies,” he said.

”He did certainly rub some people up the wrong way and he carried his heart on his sleeve, he was a very emotional man, but he was also a very lovable person and was very loyal to his friends.
”He could be outspoken, but not to the extent that somebody would want to murder him.
”I think he may have had a disagreement with a partner in the seafood business.”
Mr Scherini was last seen in Geelong at 10 o’clock on Tuesday morning and was to attend a meeting an hour later, but did not arrive.
Later that night firefighters discovered a charred body inside Mr Scherini’s burnt-out Mazda in the car park of the Wurdiboluc Reservoir on Cape Otway Road, about 7pm.
Inspector John Potter, of the homicide squad, said the fire had been deliberately lit and an autopsy would confirm the identity, however police believed it was Mr Scherini.
Mr Scherini had worked for Sealord Australia in Sydney and also for Queensland-based wholesale group Sam’s Seafood, which collapsed in 2005 with debts of more than $20 million.
He is believed to have joined the company shortly before it collapsed. He also worked in sales in NSW before moving to Victoria. Police are appealing for anyone with information about his vehicle, a Mazda, registration number ZUKES1 to contact them.
Inspector Potter said three deaths in such a short period was providing the homicide squad with ”challenging times”.
