Gallup Police Department officers responded to a call at about 9:40 am this morning in reference to an "unresponsive person," located in Room 12 of the Lariat Lodge, 1105 E. Hwy 66.

The deceased man, who police are working on identifying, was found by his roommate when he awoke this morning.

Based on the initial investigation, GPD Capt. Rick White said that no foul play is suspected.

When asked if alcohol could have been a factor in the man's death, White said the man and his roommate "had been drinking Vodka for several days."

"His body will be sent to the Office of the Medical Investigator in Albuquerque to determine cause," he said.
