A person who was found dead at a North Las Vegas park in July has been identified as a 64-year-old man.
Donald Giffen died of sharp force injuries, according to the Clark County coroner’s office, which ruled his death a homicide.
Police were called at 5:30 a.m. on July 8 to a park near the 2600 block of Tonopah Avenue after a report of an injured person, the North Las Vegas Police Department said at the time.
Officers found Giffen, who died at the scene, but did not immediately divulge what his injuries were.
No other information was immediately available on Monday.
A previous version of this story incorrectly spelled Giffen’s name.
