Death investigations
This is the latest, as-yet unexplained death being looked into by police in recent months.
Last Friday, a man was found lifeless at the Tamuning Plaza Hotel. The building is currently being used as a shelter for the homeless. Authorities do not suspect his death was a result of foul play, but the official cause has yet to be determined through an autopsy.
Separately, investigators have yet to release new details into the case involving a man’s skeletal remains found last month in Harmon. Police, at the time, said the man ranges in age from his late 50s to early 60s.
Detectives also have yet to find any clues to help them solve a homicide that unfolded after human remains were found in a trash fire just off Route 10 in Chalan Pago in January. Authorities said only parts of an unidentified man’s body were found at the scene, according to Post files.
Authorities released sketches of the man’s tattoos in hopes that the community can help to identify him, but as of Monday, he has yet to be named and no suspects have been arrested in connection with his death.
