Email received from Police Chief Kevin Milosevich:
Yesterday afternoon around 3:00 PM, a older white male was found deceased in Jones Park. No signs of trauma, it appeared that he was sleeping in the park and had a seizure.
We called the medical examiner’s office. The responding technician lives just a few doors down from the park. He and his wife were out walking on the trail Wednesday evening and observed the victim in the same location, sleeping. At that time, the victim’s position was different from when we discovered him yesterday afternoon.
The ME is in the process of locating next of kin, and it appears that the victim was homeless.
If any new information is developed, I will let you know.
If any of the family reads this blog..
Don’t take the lack of discussion as a lack of caring – speaking for myself; I’m rather speechless.
For anybody else out there – don’t ride.
My uncle could pilot a 747 into the old Hong Kong airport.
He still died on his bike clutching his ruptured intestines. We’re pretty sure a car ran him off the road and he died kicking and screaming.

Re: DEAD MAN FOUND IN PARK
Alcohol is such a poison to so many people – I’d almost wish prohibition would have worked.
Thanks for the info – often times not even the family can help someone in a situation like this.
The ACLU was wrong – we should we bring back involuntary commitment!
