Boulder police investigating body found in Boulder Creek

 Early this morning, a passer-by walking along Boulder Creek in the area of 13^th and Arapahoe called police to report a body in the water, near the bank.

The man was deceased. He was a homeless person known to police, but his identity is not being released until authorities can determine whether the man had any family who should be notified.

According to a homeless man who spoke to police, he and the deceased man were drinking with a small group of transients until the early morning hours. Around 4 a.m. the group split up.

Police were not called until 6:30 this morning, when the passer-by noticed the body.

At this time, circumstances do not appear to be suspicious. The Boulder County Coroner has been notified.

Those who have information but wish to remain anonymous may contact the Northern Colorado Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or 1-800-444-3776. Tips can also be submitted through the Crime Stoppers website at www.crimeshurt.com.
