The body of a deceased Hispanic male was found on Nov. 9 at the Chaparral Mobile Home Park on the east side of Gallup, officials said.
Capt. Marinda Spencer of the Gallup Police Department said a call came into police headquarters about the death. The body is of a male believed to be in his 40s, Spencer said.
Spencer said the body was sent to Albuquerque for an autopsy. She declined to say whether the incident included foul play, saying police investigators await notification of next of kin in the matter.
Spencer said it’s the first unattended death in the Chaparral area in about six or seven months.
