Gallup Police Department has identified a man found deceased near the BNSF rail yard, under Munoz Overpass, Feb. 6.

GPD Capt. Erin Toadlena-Pablo said the call on the Native American man came in shortly after 9 am.

Pictures of the man were shown around until he was recognized. Next of kin was notified. Gallup Police has given his identity as Anderson Albert, 42, of St. Michaels, Ariz.

Toadlena-Pablo said 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 death.
