ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) - Anchorage Police say a body was found in Chester Creek on Saturday morning.

A woman walking her dogs in the area discovered the male body lying in the creek around 9:30 a.m.

Police say the dead man is an Alaskan Native, approximately 40-50 years old.



A preliminary investigation did not reveal any signs of foul play. Officers say the man was not carrying any form of identification and may have been homeless.

According to witnesses who frequent the area, the man was not there yesterday.

After the man is identified and his next of kin has been notified, his name will be released by the medical examiner’s office.
