Public asked to help identify man found dead in creek near Colorado park
Colorado Springs police are asking for the public’s help in identifying a man they found dead in October.
Police are still working to identify a man they found dead in Fountain Creek next to the El Pomar Youth Sports Park on Oct. 3, the department said in a statement released Monday afternoon, and are hoping members of the public might be able to help.
The man officers found, according to the release, was around 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighed around 140 pounds, and was white and had brown hair. He also had at least two tattoos — an eye on his back and a paw on his chest — which the El Paso County Coroner’s Office, which is currently holding the man’s body, is hopeful will help identify him.
