Wheat Ridge police are seeking information about the identity of a man whose remains were found in a tent north of Clear Creek last year, the agency said Thursday.
A man was exploring a wooded area in northwest Wheat Ridge in December when he came across the abandoned camp, the police department said in a post on X.
The human remains he discovered likely belong to a man who was between 45 and 75 years old and died between 2021 and 2023, according to an analysis from the Jefferson County Coroner’s Office.
The coroner’s office worked with a forensic sculptor to create a reconstruction of the man’s face based off the remains.
“This is a person who may have had family or friends that deserve closure,” police officials said.
Police do not believe the man’s death was suspicious.
Anyone with information about the man’s identity can contact Detective Dan Reshew at dreshew@ci.wheatridge.co.us.
