CHEYENNE – Police are investigating the death of an adult man whose body was found Thursday night in the 4100 block of East Eighth Street in Cheyenne.
The body was found on the porch of a local resident’s home, according to Cheyenne Police Department spokesman Officer Kevin Malatesta.
“All we know at this point is it was an unattended death, which means the person died when no one else was around,” Malatesta said. “It’s fairly common to investigate an unattended death; sometimes it’s natural causes, and sometimes there are other things going on.”
Investigators will release more information following an autopsy.
Malatesta said the incident was unrelated to another disturbance near Bent Avenue and 25th Street at 11 a.m. Friday, which police said was an apparent suicide.
“We had a number of calls about a possible fight in the area today, but that wasn’t the case,” he said. “The individual who found the other person was upset and left the residence.”
