Foul play does not appear to be a factor in the death of a 39-year-old Juneau resident found near the University of Alaska Southeast campus, according to Juneau police Lt. David Campbell.
Benjamin Parson was found Sunday morning with a facial injury in a parking lot near a trailhead off University Drive, according to a news release from Juneau Police Department.
Parson appeared to have died from a gunshot. A firearm was recovered from close proximity to Parson’s body, the release said.
The Medical Examiner’s Office in Anchorage will conduct an autopsy. The police investigation is ongoing.
