Boulder police are investigating an unattended death after crews pulled a body from a creek near 3100 Pearl Parkway today.

Boulder police and firefighters responded this morning after a construction worker from a neighboring lot spotted the body in the creek around 10 a.m., according to Boulder police spokeswoman Laurie Ogden.

Boulder Fire Rescue crews in dry suits retrieved the body around 11:45 a.m.

Boulder police detectives and Boulder County Coroner’s Office investigators also were on scene.

Police said they do not suspect foul play.

The deceased person is a white male, between the ages of 50 and 60 years old, according to Boulder County Coroner Emma Hall. The man’s identity has not been released, pending confirmation, according to a news release.



An autopsy has been completed, but the cause and manner of the man’s death remain under investigation, the release says.

Employees in the area said the creek was frequented by homeless people.

No further details were available, although dispatchers said the person who reported the body said it appeared it had been there at least “a few hours.”
