BYRON TOWNSHIP, Mich. — Deputies have released the identity of the man who was found dead in Byron Township this week.
The body of Eulices Delarosa, 37, was found Tuesday afternoon in the 6200 block of Kenowa Avenue, according to the Kent County Sheriff’s Office (KCSO).
We're told his body was lying in a wooded area.
KCSO says deputies were initially summoned to the area Sunday following reports of a car that had been left abandoned near the intersection of Kenowa Avenue and 60th Street.
Investigators reached out to the victim's mother after learning the car was registered to her. She told them her son used the car on a regular basis, the sheriff's office explains. She speculates the gas tank may have been depleted and Eulices went to a friend's home.
A search party was organized after Eulices's loved ones grew concerned, KCSO writes. He was later found a quarter mile from the car. The keys were found in his possession.
Initial autopsy results revealed no cause of death, according to investigators. They are waiting for toxicology results to learn more but his death is not considered suspicious at this time.
Deputies suspect alcohol and weather to be contributors to Eulices's death.
KCSO offers its sympathies to Eulices's loved ones. His death remains under investigation.
