Gallup Police Department Lt. Rosanne Morrissette said she received a call at about 5:45 pm this evening that a deceased male was found west of King Dragon restaurant, 1212 U.S. 491.

"It doesn't look like there was any foul play," she said, adding that the body of the unidentified male will be sent to Albuquerque for an autopsy.

And it's not that the police must wait to tell the next of kin before releasing his name to the public – the man had no identification on him. Instead, police are asking for the public's help in identifying the man, which Morrissette estimates to be in his 20s.

The man has a slender build, with his stature on the shorter side. He has short, brown hair with long blondish bangs, and was wearing a dark pull over with brown skinny jeans and sneakers. He has two black rings on his right ring finger, and he's wearing a silver bracelet on his left wrist. Morrissette said the man has a "clean, baby face," leading her to believe that he was younger in years.

According to the Sun's records, this appears to be tenth open area death of the 2015/16 cold season. The Sun will provide updates as this story develops.
