Suspicious death investigation underway after body found in vacant lot in downtown Salt Lake City
Around 11 a.m., Salt Lake City Police were called to a report of an unresponsive person found in an empty lot on the east side of 200 West, near approximately 535 S. and adjacent to a Motel 6. Officers arrived and confirmed that the individual was deceased.
Members of the SLCPD Homicide Squad and Crime Lab responded to the scene and began the investigation. "We are treating this as a suspicious death investigation based on the circumstances of how the body was found and some of the things that our detectives have seen once they took a closer look at the body," SLCPD spokesman Brent Weisberg said."There was enough evidence on scene that kind of raised the hairs on the back of our neck, making us think that this is something suspicious, this is something of the ordinary, so we are going to treat it as a potential crime.
