No foul play suspected in hotel death

Authorities responded to a man who was found dead at the Durango Downtown Inn on Sunday. The cause of death has not yet been determined.

Police are continuing to investigate the death of a 57-year-old Virginia man found Sunday at the Durango Downtown Inn by hotel staff.

“We do not suspect foul play in anyway,” Durango police Detective Burke Baldwin said.

The man’s body will be autopsied in Grand Junction on Wednesday to determine the cause of death, he said.

Some of the man’s family members have requested his name not be released until more family can be notified.

The man had been staying at the hotel for the last week, Sgt. Jeremiah Lee said.
