Denver police investigate death in 200 block of Walnut Street
Police have not released the person’s identity or circumstances of discovery, and no cause or manner of death has been publicly announced.
Denver police were investigating an outdoor death Wednesday evening in the 200 block of Walnut Street. Police have not identified the person or said how or when the person was found.
In a post on X published at 7:02 p.m. Wednesday, police said the Denver Office of the Medical Examiner would determine the cause of death. Police had not announced a cause or manner of death.
The statement did not say investigators had identified foul play, a homicide or an ongoing threat to the public. That does not rule out foul play; it reflects only what police had publicly confirmed. The Denver Office of the Medical Examiner investigates deaths in the city and determines their cause and manner.
Police said they would update the original post only if the investigation’s status changed. No later official update confirming the person’s identity, discovery circumstances, cause or manner of death, or a public-safety advisory was located by the Thursday morning cutoff.
