CPS has not yet determined if the death is criminal in nature or the result of a suicide, though an autopsy is scheduled for Wednesday and will hopefully shed some light on the matter, as well as the man’s identity.

Police are asking anyone who may be missing a loved one to file a missing person’s report, as the preliminary identification of the victim does not match any current reports.
