Gallup Police Department are currently seeking the identity of a man found deceased near the BNSF rail yard, under Munoz Overpass, this morning.
GPD Capt. Erin Toadlena-Pablo said the call on the Native American man, age unknown, came in shortly after 9 am.
Toadlena-Pablo said in these cases, detectives share a photo of the deceased person with NCI and public service officers in hopes someone will recognize the victim so next of kin can be notified.
She added that there were no signs of foul play, and at this stage, it's not clear if the overnight icy weather played a factor in the man's death.
The Office of the Medical Investigator will conduct an autopsy to determine the cause of the man's death.
