Police have identified the man who was found dead near a busy intersection in the Falls Church area of Fairfax County, Virginia, earlier this week.
Gilberto Mendez, 49, was found dead Tuesday morning in the 6100 block of Arlington Boulevard; police said he was found in an alley near the intersection to Patrick Henry Drive.
Earlier, police said the man appeared to be homeless, but in a news release Wednesday, they said Mendez did have a residence in the Falls Church area.
Police added that Mendez had injuries that “could be consistent with a fall,” but they are still waiting for an official ruling on cause and manner of death from the chief medical examiner’s office.
Detectives are still investigating Mendez’s death.
