An autopsy on the 57-year-old was scheduled for Aug. 18. In an update on Aug. 19, police said the cause and manner of death are pending further testing.
“As there is a possibility the death may be non-criminal, the male’s name will not be released at this time,” a news release said.
Anyone who was in the area, or has dash cam or security footage, between 7 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 11 and 7:30 a.m. Thursday, Aug. 12 is asked to contact police.
