The Palo Alto Police Department is currently probing into a death classified as suspicious, discovered yesterday afternoon in a downtown parking garage. According to the Palo Alto Police Department, the grim discovery took place on the first floor of the City parking garage on the 400 block of Bryant Street after a call came in from a passerby at around 12:15 p.m.
Upon their arrival at the scene, officers and members of the Palo Alto Fire Department located the body of an adult male in his sixties. It was apparent that he belonged to the unhoused members of the community. Suspicion arose from the initial evidence at the location, although the exact manner of his passing is still under wraps. During the onset of the case, police have disclosed no suspect information. Additional leads or details are expected to be shared with the public as they emerge.
A canine unit was brought into the fold as a component of the over-safety protocol, canvassing the area to sniff out potential leads or other figures potentially tied to the incident. The identity of the individual has not been shared by the police, stating that the Santa Clara County Office of the Medical Examiner-Coroner would be the authority to disseminate that information during the ongoing investigation into the cause of death.
Authorities encourage anyone with relevant information on this case to contact the Palo Alto dispatch center, available around the clock, at (650) 329-2413.
