Police investigate after body found in central Las Vegas
Las Vegas police and the Clark County coroner are investigating after a body was found near a highway off-ramp Friday morning in the central valley.
Police responded about 6:15 a.m. after someone reported an unresponsive person in an area next to the Interstate 15 off-ramp at Washington Avenue, near D Street, according to Metropolitan Police Department Lt. Kurt McKenzie.
Medical personnel pronounced the person dead at the scene, McKenzie said, and no foul play was suspected.
A member of the coroner’s office examined several bags near the body as officers walked through the area next to the off-ramp.
The Clark County coroner’s office will identify the person after family members are notified.
